A golfing legend with five major championships to his credit, Severiano Ballesteros was one of the game's great heroes - charismatic, charming, fiery, unpredictable. His untimely death in May 2011, after a prolonged struggle with cancer, left his sport bereft.
Over the course of Seve's career, no other golf writer enjoyed such regular contact with him as Robert Green - meetings, interviews, conversations and meals together, all of which led to a video and a golf instruction book. This book draws on the material and insights gathered during those collaborative years to capture the 'real Seve'. It describes his family and upbringing in Spain and recalls his great on-course triumphs - not least his enormous role in the revival of the fortunes of the Ryder Cup, which thanks to him is today one of the world's great sporting events - as well as his calamities. Dramatically and insightfully, Green recalls the great wins in the Open and the Masters, and also those titles that excruciatingly slipped from Seve's grasp.
The book also examines Seve's darker side: his controversial and very public spats with officialdom and his sometimes tempestuous private life, including his divorce from Carmen, the daughter of one of Spain's wealthiest men and mother of his three children, to whom he was married for 17 years. And even after his death, his legacy could not rest.
Above all, though, it is Seve the golfer who takes centre stage, resulting in a portrait that does full justice to its colourful and mercurial subject. It is a story which will enthral all those who watched and admired this golfing icon throughout his remarkable career.
'The world of Seve I never knew. Absolutely riveting’ Peter Alliss
‘There are golfers and there are icons, there are competitors and there are tigers, there are characters and there are starbursts, there are tempers and there are tantrums. Seve is extreme in all cases.’ Sue Mott, The Daily Telegraph
'Encyclopaedic insight, framed within a compelling narrative – the definitive account of a sporting icon.' Stephen Evans, BAFTA award-winner and producer of the upcoming film of Seve's life
‘I look into their eyes, shake their hand, pat their back, and wish them luck, but I’m thinking, “I’m going to bury you.”’ Seve Ballesteros
