Three-time major winner Padraig Harrington will not start his 2019 campaign until February after breaking a bone in his wrist. Harrington had planned to contest the European Tour events in Abu Dhabi and Dubai later this month, but is now targeting a first appearance of the season at the PGA Tour's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am from February 7-10. In a statement on his website, the 47-year-old Dubliner wrote: "Over the Christmas period I discovered that I had broken a bone in my wrist. "However, I should be fully fit for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-am on the PGA Tour in early February." Harrington is the odds-on favourite to be appointed Europe's Ryder Cup captain for the 2020 contest at Whistling Straits in the near future.
