Colin
Montgomerie is one of the most recognizable
and endearing sports stars in his
generation and is a true giant among
golfers. In the last decade, 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 and in four titanic
Ryder Cup struggles in the 1990s.
After an illustrious Amateur career,
the boy from Troon turned pro in 1987
and was Rookie of the Year in Europe
in 1988. After his first (11 shot)
victory on Tour at the Portuguese
Open, he has progressively climbed
up the European Money List. In 1993,
he became Europe's No. 1, a dominant
position he has retained ever since
and he has now earned more prize money
than any British golfers in history.
Colin is currently No. 3 in the World
Ranking and has remained in the Top
10 since 1994. In 1999, he had a record
of achieving five victories in Europe
and he was never ranked below Top
20 in any tournament. This is the
evidence of the fact that Colin was
the most consistent golfer in the
world during the 1990's. Victory in
the Novotel Perrier Open de France
and the record-breaking of three successive
victories in the Volvo PGA Championship
has ensured that Colin's champion
is carried out into 2000. Colin has
accomplished 29 tournament victories
around the world and is one of the
most recognizable sportsmen in the
game, as well as being an ambassador
of Scottish, British and European
golf. In the 1999 Ryder Cup at Brookline,
despite the European team's defeat,
Colin emerged as a figure of outstanding
performance and exceptional self-control
and leadership on and off the course,
even under great pressure.
Colin Montgomerie's name is the synonym

company's business is continuously
growing. He works very closely with
his management company, IMG, and also
numerous global business interests

the heavy workload in life, Colin
is a devoted husband and father of
three children and places his family
as his highest priority. He also finds
the time to support countless charitable
and junior competitions in order to
introduce golf to more people.
