- With a moving speech José-Maria Olazabal presented his friend Seve with the trophy in his house in Pedrena, Spain. The ceremony was part of BBC's program Sprts personality of the year 2009.
Before I played with him in the Ryder Cup in 1983, I played 9 holes with Seve in an Exhibition match at Woburn 1980 a day after the Open at Muirfield. After he beat Mike McLean and myself 2 and one, Seve then got his 1 iron out and threw 3 balls into a green side bunker. He stiffed the 1st two 1 iron bunker shots and holed the 3rd shot. I will never forget this Genius and only Seve could've done this. Paul Way.
Brilliant Paul thanks for sharing 👏🏻
Mr. Way,
What a lucky man you are to have known and played with one of the best golfers that ever lived. I am sure it was an experience that you treasure.
Brilliant story Paul....u wer a great golfer 2
Gracias Seve.🇪🇸 and the whole world miss you.
I only saw him once. The final round at Lytham St Anne's in 1988. Finished on a Monday due to the heavy rain on Saturday. We stayed at an apartment in St Anne's on the top floor Slazenger had booked the top three apartments, My dad, sister and I were given corporate tickets and we wanted to follow the three ball of Faldo, Price and Seve but the galleries on that day were 12 deep. Being young my sister and I would not have seen much. So we sat in the reserved area of the grandstand at the 18th green. We watched them play the first from the stand and waited, a caddy for a golfer who played earlier in the day sat down beside my dad, started chatting, he then got out a mini tv. And we watched the final day of the open in the grandstand overlooking the 18th green. Saw his chip at the last, Nick Price had chipped from almost the same place moments earlier. Both went close, Seve won. 65 shots. And saw him lift the claret jug. He was my hero.
So emotional. Seve has planted the love and passion for golf in European hearts allover. He will not be forgotten.
Oh Seve how I and the game of golf still misses you. You were the inspiration to me when taking up the game. Rest in Peace Seve, the greatest player with style and flare the game has ever seen.
Here Here,. Seve meant and means everything to us of a certain generation who watched in awe & wonder the most magical golfer of all time `
One of the greatest to ever step foot onto a Golf Course.....the incredible Seve! In my opinion the greatest short game player we will ever see.......
Thanks for posting this, they don't show the BBC Sports Personality Awards where I live. Seve was the greatest.
A Legend, Nothing More, Nothing Less...
Seve and Ole, what a team
I only watched golf because of him
woods will never deserve to sit down and eat at seve,s table.
Seve is my favourite player of all time. Rest in peace brilliant legend.
I will always remember this passionate man, this fiery golfer from Pedreña. With his unique style and loads of charisma. It was a treat to watch him ...... by the way my mum always said he was the most beautiful and handsome man ever .....Rest in peace Seve
He is the reason I play golf. Simple
The greatest golfer Europe has ever produced.
Hands down!!
Yup. In the Top 10 of all time in the world for sure
So much more than a great golfer, An Icon.
Why am i sat watching this weeping :(
Gone but never forgotten Seve
same 😭😭
I am 45 years old and I have followed Seve's career right from when it first started. I am so gutted to hear of his death. Seve was always my favourite player. Rest in peace, Seve, you were magic and a true legend and a gentleman on and off of the golf course. All of your family and friends and fans love you, Seve.
Always missed, never forgotten - the father of European golf. Seve Ballesteros.
The world is a poorer place without him.
can't help but shed a tear to moments like this.
jep...me to :-(
Seve was my hero, and I saw him play just the once. It's so sad he died so young, but so many will forever be inspired by him.
So humble, so grateful for his life, he was a great man.
Having just watched the Ryder Cup 2012 DVD, it is clear his passion inspires the European Tour today.
Thanks Seve.
My all time sporting hero, fantastic guy. Loved everything about him. There will never be another anything like him.
what a wonderful man seve Ballesteros Heart of a Lion .
Still breaks my heart 9 years later.
the most deserved standing ovation ever
Seve was special.
A gentleman,no ego or bad attitude,a good man who loved what he did,will be missed.Modern sportsmen could learn a thing or to about humilty from him.
The world is a poorer place without Seve.
I cried when I watched it then and I'm bloody well crying while watching it again now.
Seve Ballesteros, RIP. Also the voice of Peter Aliss, RIP.
He is my idol.and will allways be.i have learned so much from you.lessons.that have know price.you are missed.and allways a part of me.thank you seve.
So proud to be european along with seve.
There are great comments here. At 17, I was lucky to have stood next to Seve on the practise ground at Sandwich in 1985, I was the only one there and he was 10 feet away from me hitting various clubs, the ball flight was alway a high draw where the ball would seemingly drop from the sky as if on a parachute, and his caddy would catch it. One could learn by observing the way he struck ball and then ground, and each divot was the same. It was all so effortless, and Tiger is still nowhere near Seve's level, Seve is the King, before him was Arnold Palmer. Long live the King!
I was 14 years of age in July 1985 and just taking the game up. My father took me to the last day of the Open to show me what it was all about. That Sunday morning I was also lucky enough to see Seve hitting 8 irons into his caddy's baseball cap about 160 yards away... he hardly had to move to catch them! So many memories came after that.
He was literally my hero.
RIP Seve. A very sad day for golf and for the whole sporting world.
Sleep well Mr Golf.
Crying my eyes out...
What an absolute legend. Can’t believe it’s 10 years. Seve, we haven’t forgotten you.
No, we have not!
I just watched his life story, he was an amazing golfer. I didn’t know he died in 2011 until I googled his name and was shocked that he passed. RIP Seve😢😢
On Golf Channel they quoted someone saying " God needed some short game lessons". RIP Seve
RIP Seve, an icon for all, not just through Golf but in way he lived his life and how he treated others. A truely great man!
7 years later,still miss the charismatic genius.
2018 Ryder cup finished Sunday,he will be beaming
Hala Seve
Forget sitting down and eating at the man's table-my Dad (he had the honour of watching Seve play and says "In a lifetime of playing/watching golf, by far the moment I'll treasure most" ) Tiger couldn't and never WILL carry El Matador's golf bags...
Seve;
Your game, that wonderful smile, that will of iron which made the *impossible* possible-that's how I will remember you best.
Rest in peace, for you have shown the courage of a champion and have earned your place amongst the angels.
Cried my eyes out watching that. Some people will never die
Very moving! R.I.P. Seve..
We may have lost a brilliant golfer today but the legend that is Severiano Ballesteros has been born. God bless you Seve and may you RIP.
Very classy from JMO. SB may be gone but he'll never be forgotten.
Legend
A very special man,we all miss him very much my favourite golfer of all time
I think that in Heaven, on a golf course so spectacular that we can't even imagine it, Seve Ballesteros has just made the turn after nine holes, paired with Payne Stewart. Even God is marvelling at Seve's skills.
Gracias Seve , gracias
Descanse usted en paz , la proxima vez que vaya a Somo y me pase por Pedreñas te echare de menos .
He made me and thousands love a game that was pretty boring for us duffers.!!!! Simply the most charismatic player ever.Watched him at the Irish Open great memories.!!!
Seve, pure class. Still with us. Animo Seve
Legend
Thanks for posting this - Seve is a legend and wonderfully - he was fully appreciated as an icon before his medical challenges. ..... as an Irishman he was a genius in his major wins but moved to legend withthe Ryder cup - with an innate understanding of how important that was to Europeans and I wonder how he would rank winning it amongst his greatest achievements.
He loved England like England love him.
Bawling my fucking eyeballs out,Love you forever Seve.xxx
I saw him playing the TROPHÉE LANCOME in France....that was when his back was not really well, each drive was bad, but the recoverys were just incredible !!!! i can tell he was a magician.
El homenaje tiene una carga de emoción muy grande,es el merecido reconocimiento a toda su trayectoria profesional, pues Seve aportó su gran maestría al golf.⛳⛳🏌️🏌️ Siempre en nuestro recuerdo.💫💫👏👏👏
¡Que grande Seve!, jugador único y de gran carisma.
Remarkable character. Probably the only sportsman that we really loved.
Always have to watch this the week of the Ryder Cup, gets the juices flowing. Ollie deserves so much credit for how he delivered that speech.
I didnt know anything about Seve few years ago..
Because i didnt follow golf.
Then my biggest idol Rafa Nadal cried in Madrid before his match when they showed IN MEMORIAM on a big screen in Caja Magica..
Later on, i started watching more about Seve on youtube and i cried few times..
Several years ago and now again..
When it touches you even if you didnt follow him or his sport, then you know that Seve was a very charismatic person, brilliant golfer..
Rest in peace Mister Seve ❤️
I am full of tears. Thanks for all the memories Seve. RIP Legend
Seve was a class act, incredible passion, massively talented, good looking , with a genius short game. He was funny, temperamental, troublesome at times. Everyone in golf loved him for all he brought to the game. He resurrected the Ryder Cup for Europe
life is too short. I believe Steve finished his purpose to inspire us Golfers!
Seve is the reason I took up golf. Seve may not have been the best golfer ever but he was the most courageous and honourable. The Golden Bear is another. And Tiger can never ever be even half the men these two are.
Golf is about heart and passion.
Well done Seve and to see you in the Open 2010 will be just fantastic - even if you just play one hole.
Don't. Just don't. Loved this man and I cannot tell you how flowing the tears were during this. He once told me off in the press tent during the Suntory World Match Play at Wentworth for being cheeky to my Mother.
RIP Seve #Legend
How can anyone dislike this..... this man was incredible not only at the game but as a person Seve Forever!!!
10 years today and I always remember this piece. JMO captured it so brilliantly.
Watching You Tube vids ref the Ryder cup brought me to this unseen one
I just Cried!!! What a Man Seve was and Olazabal? What a nice Man and Great Captain for European Golf.
Magic
I watched the players practicing at Gleneagles, & there was Seve going from player to player helping them with their swing etc like some respected wizard, great memory that
RIP seve, great golfer
Not just an incredible golfer but an incredible man filled with humility, passion and class. “Great men are not born great, they grow great . . .”
"I look into their eyes, shake their hand, pat their back, and wish them luck, but I am thinking, 'I am going to bury you.' - Seve Ballesteros: That was Seve! "Simply Seve" We alll owe this man so much!!!!!!!
Nobody had his charisma. A bit of Golf just died.
Go in peace.
Legend .
Im not a golf fan, but when watching this live, I was moved seeing everyone standing and applauding, watching the montage before his award I could see Seve played with a smile in his face. Congrats!
Ledgend in everyy way .
Just heard Seve has died, pretty gutting really. RIP Seve
What l learnt from Seve was....don’t be afraid to try, because, if you don’t you’ll never know the thrill of pulling off that winning stroke, a true genius at Golf, I still miss him today, he meant that much to me...😔
Miss u seve
Wow.
What an incredible talent. Soft hands around the greens. A genius recovery artist!!!!left us too soon...
Wat a legend and artist. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Courageous, feisty, talented and, quite simply... cool.
Will the world look back upon Tiger Woods like this - I doubt it very much!
I would like pass my life as him. we need people like him.
I was stoon on a wall between the 17th and 18th at St, Andrews in 1984 when Seve sank that putt and celebrated with that never to be forgotten matador fist pump.... and there he is 38 years later still lighting up the 18th green. Watch carefully at the denouement of the 150th open and you will see Seve lauding the victor by the Swilken Burn.
more than only one tear
Came home from school, which was by Royal Birkdale, dad was watching the golf, he said here is someone you'll like, don't know how you can fall in love with someone you have never met
everytime i watch this i say to myself i will not cry and i always fail.man how i miss the guy.a true genius,a true legend.RIP Seve.
Bloody onions...
Gone before his time, and will never be forgotten. RIP Seve!
Thank you seve...I know you were there guiding the team on today x
Nuestro homenaje especial a Seve quien apoyo a nuestra Fundación desde su creación.
He's simply the best. Nobody played like him...
You will live forever in our hearts. RIP Seve
Hero! Everytime I watch it I cannot hold my tears
I can't believe thats him...he didn't deserve this...gone too soon
If that does not bring you to tears, nothing will
