MAJORCA, Spain, May 12 (Reuters) - Europe's winning Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie has joined calls for the European Tour logo be changed in memory of Seve Ballesteros who died last week.
The new Race to Dubai logo was unveiled in 2008 featuring six-times British Open
winner Harry Vardon's image but Montgomerie wants it to be changed to the famous image of Ballesteros capturing the 1984 Open at St. Andrew.
"I think that we should be honouring Seve in a golden way like that so that every player, official, supporter and every letterhead and correspondence that comes from The European Tour carries the image of Seve and honouring him," Montgomerie told reporters at the Iberdrola Open.
"He was the Godfather of our European Tour, he is the reason that we are in the enviable position that we are in today and I think it is right that we should honour him in that way."
Montgomerie said the Tour must now "celebrate" Ballesteros's life.
"It has been an emotional week but I think that Seve would want us all to play on and keep going for his sake and for all our sakes," Montgomerie said.
"We look forward to enjoying our golf and playing on. I think we have to now celebrate the life of Seve Ballesteros in every way. He was such a great talent and a great man."
