World number 10 Sergio Garcia makes a long-awaited return to the Omega European Masters this week looking to maintain his excellent record in the Swiss Alps.

Six Major champions will be among the players gathering at Wentworth a week on Monday to honour the memory and celebrate the life of the late Seve Ballesteros - and to raise considerable funds for his Foundation.

Seve Ballesteros, determined to make a successful return to golf this season, begins 2007 this week as the non-playing captain of the Europe team hoping to defend the Royal Trophy against Asia in Bangkok.

Seve Ballesteros managed only a six-over-par 77 today in his first appearance on the European tour for almost two years.
