After an in-depth check up, it was confirmed that Seve in deed had a brain tumor. He will be under going a biopsy Tuesday before doctors determine how to proceed.Seve’s wish is to ask for respect towards his family and especially his children, he will keep us informed.Ballesteros, who won a record 50 times on the European Tour, won the British Open three times and the Masters twice before retiring last year due to a long history of back pain. He has since focused mostly on golf course design.

Many credit Ballesteros’ spirit and flair on the golf course for transforming the European game. When the Ryder Cup competition was expanded to include continental Europe in 1979, Ballesteros helped beat the United States in 1985 to begin two decades of dominance. He also captained Europe to Ryder Cup victory on home soil in 1997 at Valderrama. Ballesteros and Olazabal teamed up to produce the most formidable partnership in Ryder Cup history, with an 11-2-2 record.

We wish you all the best!
