Sponsors ask for name change to honour Seve
The sponsors of the match introduced in 2000 to mark the contribution Seve Ballesteros made to European golf have suggested a name change following the Spanish star’s death earlier this month.
The suggestion to the European Tour is simply to change the title of September’s event between Continental Europe and a Britain and Ireland side from the “Vivendi Trophy with Seve Ballesteros” to the “Vivendi Seve Trophy”.
