ASH, UNITED KINGDOM - JULY 03: European Tour Number One Justin Rose and three former Harry Vardon Trophy winners: Retief Goosen, Padraig Harrington and Colin Montgomerie, gather at The London Golf Club, for the unveiling of The European Tour's new branding ahead of The European Open starting on The Heritage Course at the London Golf Club in Ash, Kent, England. The 2009 European Tour International Schedule will herald an exciting new era in the game with the Race to Dubai and the Dubai World Championship and in recognition of this significant development, The European Tour has restyled their branding ahead of next season.
Retief, Number One in 2001 and 2002, said: To be Number One in Europe is unbelievable. To have The Harry Vardon Trophy in my trophy cabinet was something very special and then to win it in successive years was a really good feeling. The Race to Dubai is going to be great for everyone we are all going to want to be the Number One in the first year that it unfolds and we will all hope to have that putt on the final green to win a possible US $3,600,000 and, of course, The Harry Vardon Trophy.
