High-profile golfers are the latest athletes linked to the so-called Panama Papers, which detail efforts by wealthy people across the world to try to hide their fortunes by investing in offshore companies.
According to a report in the Irish Times, golfers Padraig Harrington, Retief Goosen and Ian Woosnam all have appeared in documents obtained from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca, which says its records were hacked. The firm specializes in setting up offshore accounts, which are difficult to trace. The Times reports that the firm set up the accounts at the request of IMG, a talent agency that represents many pro athletes.
