Severiano Ballesteros is perhaps the most naturally gifted golfer ever to have walked a fairway. From the moment his brother Manuel gave him his first club, he was unstoppable. A few weeks before his seventeenth birthday he turned pro. Five years later he won the Open. A genius had arrived.

For the best part of two decades Seve dominated the golfing landscape. He played shots others could only dream of. With 94 wins as a professional (including 5 Majors) he was a phenomenon, an athlete who transcended - and still transcends - his sport.

But the Ballesteros name stands for more than simple excellence. As Jack Nicklaus puts it, 'Seve's impact on the golf world, particularly in Europe, is immeasurable.' Almost single-handedly, Seve gave Europe golfing credibility; almost single-handedly , he made the Ryder Cup one of the greatest contests in world sport, and when, as captain, he finally lifted the trophy on home soil in 1997, a whole continent rejoiced. His pride and passion have inspired millions, and we have taken him to our hearts.

Now, for the first time, Seve tells his story. From his humble beginnings right up to the present day, here at last is the man behind the magic in his own words. Seve; It's utterly entertaining, blazingly charismatic and unique. Just like its author.
