Harrington is the third Irishman to be inducted into the Hall of Fame following Joe Carr and Christy OConnor Sr..
Harrington is perhaps best known for winning the Open Championships back in 2007 and 2008. He also won the US PGA Title in 2008. Throughout his career, he has had 21 wins. He was also captain of his Ryder Cup team last year.
He will be officially inducted in June at the US Open in Pinehurst North Carolina.
“I’m very proud to be included with the players before me,” said Harrington.
“This is very exciting, obviously a huge honor. It’s somewhat humbling,” he added.
“At this stage of my life, it gives me some validation to what I’ve done in golf. [It] brings back a flood of memories. This is a deep-down satisfaction.”
“Seeing your name beside the names that I’ve looked up to as a boy and young golfer, it’s very nice.
“Everybody on the ballot deserves to be there. It’s unfortunate that everyone can’t be in, but it’s great to be included in the Class of 2024.”
Harrington turned pro back in 1995. He currently plays on the PGA Tour, European Tour, and PGA Tour Champions.
