Padraig Harrington will be hopeful of getting into contention to win the fourth major championship of his career next week at the ripe old age of 54.

Harrington will tee it up at Aronimink at the PGA Championship next Thursday, looking to win the Wanamaker Trophy for the second time.

The Irishman may well be past his prime but he will have full belief that he can contend next week in Pennsylvania.

Padraig Harrington still hits the ball plenty far enough, and he possesses one of the best short games in the business.

So it should surprise nobody if he is competitive at the very least next week at the PGA Championship.

However, is Aronimink suited to Harrington’s skillset?

Harrington took to his X account on Tuesday and delivered his take on Aronimink as a golf course, after playing some practice rounds ahead of the PGA Championship.

“Two days early practice ahead of the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club,“ Harrington said.

*“*Course is in perfect condition.

*“*Reasonably wide fairways but firm, very fast and sloping. Definitely difficult to hit on some of doglegs with slopes.

*“*With the exception of a few holes surprisingly not that long, although there’s some length in a couple of the par 3s.
