"At the moment, there is disruption, there’s no doubt about it, but disruption is not bad at times," the 50-year-old Irishman said, via Golf.com. "It looks at the moment like as I said, the PGA Tour look like they have strengthened their position and European Tour are strengthening their position. I feel there is plenty of room and time will tell."
Harrington described being with some of his Ryder Cup teammates who jumped to LIV Golf to being at a holiday dinner with family members with different political views.

"Being here is a little bit like Christmas dinner or Thanksgiving for your family. You could have a sibling sitting there and — we’ll Americanize it: You could be a Republican; they could be a Democrat, but you’re friends at that particular time, and maybe politics isn’t mentioned at the dinner table," he said. "We are here for two days, and it’s great to see."
