Rogers Charity Classic Lands Padraig Harrington and Zach Johnson
Harrington becomes fourth World Golf Hall of Famer to join field
CALGARY— The Rogers Charity Classic received another significant boost to its field on Monday with World Golf Hall of Famer Padraig Harrington and two-time major champion Zach Johnson confirming they will compete in the 2026 Rogers Charity Classic, August 17-23 at Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club.
Johnson has wasted little time establishing himself as one of the PGA TOUR Champions’ biggest stars. Since becoming eligible for the senior circuit earlier this year, the 12-time PGA TOUR winner has captured four victories, including his most recent triumph in Portugal, to climb to second in the Charles Schwab Cup standings. The 50-year-old has also recorded nine top-five finishes in just 11 starts during a sensational rookie campaign.
Harrington sits one spot behind Johnson in the Charles Schwab Cup standings after adding another major championship to his remarkable career with a victory at the U.S. Senior Open. The Irishman has also recorded five additional top-five finishes this season.
“Calgary is very well known amongst the players as one of the better weeks of the year, so I definitely wanted to come back,” said Harrington, who was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2024. “This event has raised great money over the years, and the community comes out and supports it which is always so important for an event. The golf course is very pleasant, the greens are excellent, and my game has been in great shape so I am looking forward to the week.”
