“Colin’s dedication, discipline and success are all qualities valued equally by Aberdeen”
Colin Montgomerie
Aberdeen is currently in year four of a five year deal with Colin Montgomerie which was signed in 2007. 2009 saw Colin be selected to be the European Ryder Cup Captain at Celtic Manor later this year.
The sponsorship agreement sees Colin compete in Aberdeen branded clothing at tournaments and appearances worldwide. Colin is also involved in Aberdeen corporate events in key Aberdeen territories.
"We are extremely proud to support one of the world's highest profile and most respected golfers. Golf combines Scottish roots with a global presence; attributes which feature strongly in Aberdeen's own business model. Colin’s dedication, discipline and success are all qualities valued equally by Aberdeen. I hope his continued success on the golf course can help to inspire the Aberdeen team to achieve their own professional goals and serve to reinforce Aberdeen's standing in the eyes of our clients.” Martin Gilbert, Chief Executive, Aberdeen Asset Management.
About Colin Montgomerie
Since turning professional in 1987 Montgomerie has recorded 30 European Tour tournament victories and won the European Order of Merit a record eight times.
Montgomerie has been a major figure in the turnaround of European Ryder Cup fortunes since making his debut appearance in the bi-annual competition in 1991, recording a total of eight cup appearances and finishing on the winning side on five occasions.
Montgomerie was instrumental in Europe's record equalling defeat of the USA at the K Club in 2006 where he maintained his record of never having lost a Ryder Cup singles match. He also sank the winning putt at the 35th Ryder Cup matches at Oakland Hills in 2004.
Montgomerie has finished runner-up four times in Major Championships.
