Lee Westwood becomes Life Member of European Tour

[HRC99]

I see Lee Westwood has been given Life Membership of the European Tour to honour his achievements in golf and in particular becoming world number 1.

A well deserved honour.

Couldn't agree more.

Well done that man.

Does that save him a few quid in subs every year then?

Probably, which is a relief for him as I'm sure he's struggling to get by at the moment.

 

[Imurg]

Would that make him eligible for the Ryder Cup even if he joined the PGATour and didn't play over in "Europe"at all?

 

[JustOne]

That's lucky! The way he's played so far this year it was looking like he might not secure his card for next year!

 

[SyR]

It's a well deserved award for him. I hope he can bag a few majors in the next few years.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Thoroughly deserved. He's never really gone looking for the big bucks in the States and has been faithful to the European tour so a fitting accolade

Well deserved award for him, hope he wins a major or two this season.
