Harrington: Tour should make most of Seve

Padraig Harrington has hit out at golf’s administrators for not doing enough to honour Seve Ballesteros.

Harrington feels Ballesteros, who is recovering from a brain tumour, should be made an ambassador of the European Tour.

Ballesteros has started a course of chemotherapy after being released on December 9 from a Madrid hospital.

Harrington told the Sunday Express: “It is a shame that in recent years Seve has not been leading out the European Tour as an ambassador.

“He has that charisma and just needs to enter a room for everyone to know he is there.

“It’s only when something like this happens that you see how much he is missed, so I hope the Tour can build more of a relationship with him and have him at the forefront of our Tour.”
