Colin MONTGOMERIE

Designer of Golden Gulf Golf

 

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 of quality, the same is true for the companies he works with. He is an intelligent and articulate sportsman and, as such, his international networking company's business is continuously growing. He works very closely with his management company, IMG, and also numerous global business interests and corporate associations.Despite 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.
