Padraig is only saying this because on Current form rory and Graeme would keep him out of competing in the Olympics.
I think the 2 guys will keep everyone guessing as to who they will represent. But what should show as a hint is the fact that they both represent Ireland in the golf world cup.
If Harrington is in the Top 15 in the world in 4 years time he need not worry as the Top 15 will qualify regardless of country.
You would imagine Mcilroy will be in the top 15 but you would doubt if Gmac or Harrington will be.
After the top 15 are known then the next 45 players representing countries that do not already have two representatives will qualify.
As for Gmac and Mcilroy representing Ireland at the World Cup,well there was no one else they could have played for.
There is no Team GB in Golf (outside of the Olympics) and they couldn't play for England,Scotland or Wales so Ireland was their only option apart of course from the option of not playing at all.
