Colin Montgomerie won 31 European Tour events. And was the Number 1 player on the European Tour for several years in the 1990's. He competed in stellar fashion and is a Hall of Famer since 2013.
Winning in the USA.
BUT, he had never won a stroke-play event in America, let alone a major tournament. Then in 2014, the Champions Tour rookie won the Senior PGA championship and the Senior U.S. Open in the space of seven weeks.

He want to be a representative for several of the top European Tour players.
