[84cats]

Legend, enough said.

[Dreama40]

wipes tears from eyes......

[jcking33]

life is too short. I believe Steve finished his purpose to inspire us Golfers!

[Davewise1965]

I am 45 years old and I have followed Seve's career right from when it first started. I am so gutted to hear of his death. Seve was always my favourite player. Rest in peace, Seve, you were magic and a true legend and a gentleman on and off of the golf course. All of your family and friends and fans love you, Seve.

[CanuckFootballFan]

Forget sitting down and eating at the man's table-my Dad (he had the honour of watching Seve play and says "In a lifetime of playing/watching golf, by far the moment I'll treasure most" ) Tiger couldn't and never WILL carry El Matador's golf bags...

Seve;

Your game, that wonderful smile, that will of iron which made the *impossible* possible-that's how I will remember you best.

Rest in peace, for you have shown the courage of a champion and have earned your place amongst the angels.

[venigil]

en realidad dice:increible la pila de gente que hay...



[GeemanThe1]

God Bless you Seve. May you rest in eternal peace. Thank you for bringing so much pleasure to golf fans everywhere.

[TheIrishjohn123]

woods will never deserve to sit down and eat at seve,s table.

[erTitov]

Emocionante.

[Brigante7]

Take note Tiger, this is how you should be behaving.

[nwtrucker38]

So sad watching this. The term 'legend' is so often over used, especially in the sporting arena. not in this case though! A great man on and off the course. RIP Seve.

[kady7869]

Very classy from JMO. SB may be gone but he'll never be forgotten.

[JamieZarr]

While the audience is welcoming him with a well deserved applause, one can listen to his comment to Olazábal just before the applause comes to an end: "increíble la peña que hay, ¿eh?" (such an incredible amount of people, ain't it?)

Now that is a GENTLEMAN OF GOLF, FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS!

¡Nos vemos "luego" Seve! ¡¡¡¡¡GRACIAS!!!!

[Jorgrainer]

On Golf Channel they quoted someone saying " God needed some short game lessons". RIP Seve

[SATULAL]

RIP Seve, you are a champion and will be sorely missed. I am now living in Spain and I see your great impact on Spanish sports history. Gracias Seve!

[YoSoyZuri]

Cirque de solei golf! He was loved and he will always be remembered. He was a genius but also he was exiting to watch and charismatic!!

R.I.P for ever.... SEVE... !

[todoportable]

Gracias Seve , gracias

Descanse usted en paz , la proxima vez que vaya a Somo y me pase por Pedreñas te echare de menos .

[ZonasCardio]

Nuestro homenaje especial a Seve quien apoyo a nuestra Fundación desde su creación.

[Spuddle16]

Nobody had his charisma. A bit of Golf just died.

Go in peace.

[Truthguy2121]

A gentleman,no ego or bad attitude,a good man who loved what he did,will be missed.Modern sportsmen could learn a thing or to about humilty from him.

[jcm060]

I would like pass my life as him. we need people like him.

[supergolfdude]

I think that in Heaven, on a golf course so spectacular that we can't even imagine it, Seve Ballesteros has just made the turn after nine holes, paired with Payne Stewart. Even God is marvelling at Seve's skills.

[RAFFMATAZZ]

....bye bye Seve..... gracias por todo, ....por todo !!! ....por los birdies y los eagles, por tus días sobre el green, por tu especial pasión por el deporte, por tu gran ejemplo como ser humano...., pero sobre todo por habernos dado una lección de como seguir siendo uno mismo aun cuando los días en la vida se vuelven clandestinos.....

[fixuplooksharp66]

how poignant a watch this is, especially now that the great man has passed away. RIP Seve

[lozziboz]

[Geordiesned]

RIP Seve. A very sad day for golf and for the whole sporting world.

Sleep well Mr Golf.

[TheNightmareAssasin]

Ive never watched a full game of golf in my life. I dont think I ever will. But i was watching this show and i was so moved by this part. What a great man.

Rest In Peace.

[lordtednfs]

Seve, pure class. Still with us. Animo Seve

[finestroso]

Somebody knows the name of the ceremony song??

[senanmcclosk]

The two words any professional golfer feared most anywhere in the world...Seve Ballesteros....

[SeanMacOirc]

"I look into their eyes, shake their hand, pat their back, and wish them luck, but I am thinking, 'I am going to bury you.' - Seve Ballesteros: That was Seve! "Simply Seve" We alll owe this man so much!!!!!!!

[IrishSpore]

A Legend, Nothing More, Nothing Less...

[malcs0]

Dignity and courage personified. Never scared on the golf course, never scared off it.

[maureenrooneymarch11]

Stunning on the course. Magnificent as he recoverrs from his brain tumor. Seve you are our hero! you grace us with your courage and your great heart.

[etg390]

He's simply the best. Nobody played like him...

[SeanMacOirc]

A "GENIOUS" personified, an absolutley amazing golfer and man.

[thisisboringnow]

Many thanks for posting this. I am in tears watching it seeing Jose Maria paying such a great tribute to his friend Seve.

Congratulations to Seve and a full and speedy recovery. God bless you Seve.

[sipower1965]

Thanks for posting this - Seve is a legend and wonderfully - he was fully appreciated as an icon before his medical challenges. ..... as an Irishman he was a genius in his major wins but moved to legend withthe Ryder cup - with an innate understanding of how important that was to Europeans and I wonder how he would rank winning it amongst his greatest achievements.

[gascoignerc]

Will the world look back upon Tiger Woods like this - I doubt it very much!

<3 Seve - the reason my family almost ALL play golf. Looking forward to seeing him at St. Andrews, even if he just walks on the first tee and says hi to everyone - its gonna be a rocking tournament this year just for him being there!!

Speedy recovery as Colin said!!

[HyPeZxSuPaSiiKx]

yo anybody know the name is the music that starts around 2:45, write back, thanks x SEVE - LEGEND!

[eggymark]

Seve is the reason I took up golf. Seve may not have been the best golfer ever but he was the most courageous and honourable. The Golden Bear is another. And Tiger can never ever be even half the men these two are.

Golf is about heart and passion.

Well done Seve and to see you in the Open 2010 will be just fantastic - even if you just play one hole.

[tinytuco]

Seve your a legend - i love you dude - your just awesome

[egun1]

what is the name of the song being played at 3.00 mins?

[54LM4NAd]

Im not a golf fan, but when watching this live, I was moved seeing everyone standing and applauding, watching the montage before his award I could see Seve played with a smile in his face. Congrats!

[kzvxrpl]

Thanks for posting this, they don't show the BBC Sports Personality Awards where I live. Seve was the greatest.

[HanaaBabesx]

Haha @gilliesmacdonald I Hope He's Isn't, It's A White Sofa haaaha

[plumbtwins]

Seve is a legend, well done Jose Maria a fabulous presentation.

[antonia305]

Such a lovely, heartfelt presentation by Jose Maria, Seve is an inspiration to all of us who love the game of golf. This reward is well deserved!
