Former World No.1 and winner of over 80 tournaments including five major championships, Seve Ballesteros was, for a decade, arguably the greatest golfer in the world.

Seve will always be remembered for the strength and determination he showed not only on the golf course but also in the last years of his life, as he bravely fought brain cancer.

In 2008 Seve was diagnosed with a brain tumour the size of two golf balls and in 2009, driven out of a desire to help others in his position, Seve set up the Seve Ballesteros Foundation in partnership with Cancer Research UK, with the ambition of being the biggest funder of brain cancer research in the UK

Since 2009 the Foundation has raised almost £1.5 million for Cancer Research UK’s life saving brain cancer research through a variety of events and partnerships, and the Foundation is proud to be working with the National Golf Club Challenge and The Shire London in 2011.

The Foundation is now Seve’s lasting legacy and will continue to fight brain cancer in Seve’s memory.
