Inside Padraig Harrington's family life with wife Caroline and plush South Dublin home

Padraig Harrington is one of Ireland's greatest ever sports people and will appear on the Late Late Show tonight.

Harrington will appear on the show to talk about his induction into the Golf Hall of Fame later this year.

The Dubliner is undoubtedly one of the finest sportspeople to come from the Emerald Isle, having scooped back to back Open Championship wins in 2007 and 2008 and followed it up with a PGA Championship win in 2008.

Harrington also reached number three in the world golf rankings and scooped the the PGA Player of the Year award in 2008 after winning his two majors.

And here is everything you need to know about the golfer.

Where is he from and when was he born?

Padraig Harrington was born in Dublin on 31 August, 1971. He's 52 years old.

Who is his wife Caroline?

Harrington tied the knot with long term partner Caroline back in 1997 and she has been by his side ever since.

Caroline can be seen snapped alongside Harrington at the Ryder Cups as well as his major wins.

The pair have known each other since childhood.

What is their family life like?

Harrington and Caroline have two kids together, Patrick was born in 2003 and Ciaran was born in 2007.

Patrick became a viral sensation after Harrington's 2007 Open win after he asked his dad if he could put Ladybirds in the Claret Jug.

Patrick has also partnered his dad in a number of Father and Son tournaments.

The family also have a dog called Wilson, named after Harrington's successful partnership with the golf brand Wilson Staff.

Where do they live?

The family are settled in a gorgeous South Dublin home.

Harrington made sure there was ample practice space with chipping and putting greens dotted around his garden.

The three-time major winner has his major trophies on his kitchen table and says he does it so he can enjoy seeing them every day.

The house also has a game's room and a golf simulator.
