Colin Montgomerie is one of his generation’s most recognisable and endearing sports stars and is a true statesman of golf. Over the last two decades Colin has emerged as the undisputed leading European golfer. Colin, known affectionately to millions around the world as “Monty”, is one of Britain’s most admired sportsmen and has held centre stage in numerous tournament victories, eight titanic Ryder Cup Matches as a player. In October 2010 he captained the victorious 2010 European Ryder Cup Team at Celtic Manor.Colin turned professional in 1987 and was Rookie of the Year in Europe in 1988. His first professional win was the Portugese Open where he won by an 11 shot lead, and continued to climb up the money list until in 1993 he became Euope’s number one player. A position he retained for an unprecedented run of seven years and he has now earned more prize money than any British golfer in history.

Colin consistenly ranked amongst the world’s best golfers, moving into the top 10 of the world ranking in 1994. After being honoured with an MBE in 1998 the following year produced a recored equalling five victories in Europe and he was never outside the top 20 in any tournament. This is evidence of the fact that Colin rightly proved himself to be the most consistent golfer in the world during the 1990’s. Victory in the Novotel Perrier Open de France and his record breaking third succesive victory in the Volvo PGA Championship ensured thats Colin’s winning streak continued into 2000. Colin started his 2001 season in the best possible way by winning the Ericsson Australian Masters and in 2002, he won his first title in Asia, the TCL Classic, one week after sharing 1st place with Bernhard Langer in the 2002 Volvo masters his 27th European Title.
