I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'got google always to unearth golf player' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'from ireland' is the wordplay.
'from' becomes 'o' (I've seen this in other clues).
'ireland' becomes 'toole' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'o'+'toole'='OTOOLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for otoole that I've seen is " Actor".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
