Recurrence of the brain tumour?

One of the greats, and such a nice guy too. There is no-one in the game that could be so erratic from the tee and fairway then pull it out with a genius short game like Seve.
I really hope he pulls through, but doesn't look good. One of my sporting heroes.

Yup.... Many celebrity stories make you think but very few make you really feel and hearing Seve struggling is one that saddens me

Very sorry to hear that bad news. He was not only an outstanding golfer but also a true sportsman in the full meaning of the word.

Seve was the reason my brother got into golf and 25 years on now plays off a handicap of 4. Some people in sport are more than just sportsmen, they inspire others. Seve was one of those. RIP!

Really gutted today.

I remember watching Seve play Monty in the inaugural Seve Trophy at Sunningdale.

Seve, as he often did in the latter stages of his career, was spraying the ball everywhere. I can recall seeing him disappearing into the woods, fairway after fairway, vanishing from view and a minute or so later hearing "thwack" and a ball comes flying out of the woods and lands on the green. The match was played in great spirit and Monty kept shaking his head and asking the crowd how he was doing it.

God bless Seve. I hope there are some good course for you "up there".

RIP.

The man solely responsible for putting European Golf on the map and an inspirational figure for myself and many others in the game.

A true legend

RIP Seve
