If Tiger Woods is looking for inspiration, Padraig Harrington is ready to provide it. The 43-year-old managed to win the 2015 Honda Classic despite being ranked 297th in the world at the time.

According to Harrington, his performance could serve as a motivator for Woods.

"It might," he said (via Irish Golf Desk). "Retief Goosen being in contention in L.A. last week is a big positive for me. When you see contemporaries performing, it makes it all the more plausible for you. You are never sure what others are thinking and I was a contemporary of Tiger in that we started our careers around the same time, so he could be looking at me thinking, 'Paddy had a slump and he's come back.'"

While others are still awaiting Woods' triumphant return, Harrington isn't. For him, even Tiger's "B game" is enough to collect victories on the tour.

"So, it [the Honda Classic victory] could be a positive thing for Tiger," Harrington added. "He's got so much ability, he doesn't need to be back where he was in order to be back winning and winning Majors. He dominated at one stage. He doesn't need to get back to that level. He's got plenty of game and talent to win with what used to be his B game."

Harrington readily admits even returning to that level isn't a simple fix.

"If you look at someone who has chronic putting problems or whatever, you can give all the advice, but at the end of the day, something has to click inside them and they have to understand and believe it."

"That can be a long and a hard process. You never know when that moment will come when he will find that clarity."
