The European Tour has revealed it is ‘actively considering’ a number of possible tributes for Seve Ballesteros.

Ballesteros passed away earlier this month and the world of golf has united in its desire to see the legendary Spaniard honoured for his remarkable career, with one suggestion being that the Tour change their logo to incorporate the five-time Major winner.

And European Tour chief executive George O’Grady has confirmed Tour officials are looking for “the most appropriate way to acknowledge his unique contribution”.

O’Grady said: “Following the sad death of Severiano Ballesteros, we are taking time to reflect on how best The European Tour continues to honour his memory.

“The Olé Seve! Invitational event, taking place at Wentworth Club this Monday, has been in planning for many months and is just one of many ways in which the Tour will be celebrating the life of Severiano Ballesteros, as well as raising funds for his charitable foundation, which works in partnership with Cancer Research UK.

“Seve was the inspiration behind The European Tour as it is today and it is both right and fitting that, in the fullness of time, we find the most appropriate way to acknowledge his unique contribution.”
