Lawie wants Seve on new Tour logo

May 11, 2011 - PRLog -- Paul Lawrie, the last Scott to win the Open, wants the new European Tour logo changed to incorporate the famed pictured of Seve Ballesteros winning the 1984 Open.





A so too do a good number of other European Tour members, Lawrie claimed on Tuesday when talking to the press ahead of this week's Iberdrola Open at Pula GC in Mallorca, Spain. ( Taylormade R9 Supermax Driver = http://www.enjoymygolf.com/goods-285-Taylormade+R9+Supermax+Driver.html )



The Tour recently paid to have a new logo developed that features Harry Vardon, an old-time icon who won The Open six times in the early 1900's.



This was to coincide with the launch of the Race To Dubai in 2009.



But Lawrie believes Bellesteros, not Vardin, should have been the central focus of the logo anyway and now that the Spanish legend has lost his brave battle with brain cancer and passed away aged 54, it gives the tour authorities the perfect opportunity to right an original wrong.



"I absolutely support the idea (of changing the logo) as Taylormade R9 Supermax Driver = http://www.enjoymygolf.com/goods-285-Taylormade+R9+Superm...  would be a great move," Lawrie said.



"Seve is the reason why we are playing on the European Tour, and everyone would have that opinion, so I fully agree with it."



After his death in the early hours of Saturday morning unprecedented numbers of Tributes poured in from all over the world for Ballesteros, virtually all of them praising him to the skies as the charismatic wizard who put the European Tour on the map and was hugely influential in bringing mainland Europe into the Ryder Cup.

The handsome Spaniard's sparkling charisma and humble charm were other factors that drew thousands of new supporters to golf.



"There are quite a few players, I can assure you, who believe that the (European Tour) logo should have featured Seve in the first place.



"Of course, it's not for me to tell the Tour what to do. The current logo is a nice logo and it's been very well done.



"But everyone knows and agrees that Seve was the player that really started Taylormade R9 Supermax Driver  all for the European Tour. He was the difference."

Lawrie's compatriot and fellow European Tour professional, Andy Coltart, who has been busy moving house, used Twitter to back Lawrie's idea of changing the logo.



"We've already got a Harry Vardon Trophy, so why not a Seve logo instead," the Scot tweeted.



"No disrespect to Harry Vardon, who is obviously... a legend, but today's Taylormade R9 Supermax Driver  in the European Tour is down to Seve, and he is 21st century.
