Miguel Angel Jimenez's Golf Clubs

Miguel Angel Jimenez

Residence: Malaga, Spain
DOB: 01/05/1964

One of Golfbidder’s favourite golfers! Sarcastically nicknamed ‘The Mechanic’ (because he hates tinkering with his high performance cars – preferring only to drive them), the cigar-smoking, Ferrari-driving, wine connoisseur from Spain is one of Europe’s finest golfers. One of seven brothers, he didn’t take up golf until he was fifteen. He won his European Tour card in 1988 and secured his first win in the Belgian Open in 1992. A great team player – he won the Alfred Dunhill Cup in 1999 and 2000, the Seve Trophy in 2000 and was part of Europe’s victorious Ryder Cup team in 2004 – where, when asked his requirements for The Team Room replied: “Some Rioja, an espresso machine and cigars” all of which were provided. He had a few undistinguished seasons earlier in his career, but when he’s hot, he’s hot – evidenced in 2004 when he four an amazing four times to finish 4th overall on the European Tour Order of Merit. In 2005 he won the Omega Hong Kong Open and The Celtic Manor Wales Open. Despite a third place in the BMW and a couple of other top five finishes, 2006 was not his best year and sadly he missed out on a place in Europe’s Ryder Cup Team at the K Club. Our biog photo shows Miguel doing what he does best at the 2006 BMW Championship at Wentworth.

2007	Barclays Scottish Open

Played between 12-15 July 2007 at the fabulous Loch Lomond course. As the curtain raiser to the Open Championship the following week at Carnoustie, the Barclays Scottish Open attracted some of the biggest names in the world – Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Luke Donald and others all made the trip. It wasn’t, however, one of the big names who walked away with the £50,000 first prize – but a virtually unknown Frenchman - Gregory Havret - who holed a tricky 5-footer on the first extra hole to beat world no 3 Phil Mickelson in a play-off. The title also earned Havret the last remaining spot at the Open.

2006	American Express - World Golf Championships

28th September to 1st October 2006. From the Ryder Cup matches at the K Club in Ireland, many of the world’s best players headed across the Irish Sea to The Grove in Hertfordshire for the UK leg of the World Golf Championships. With an incredible 23 under par total, Tiger Woods demolished the field to take an astonishing 12th win out of 22 WGC events. Tiger left runners-up Ian Poulter and Adam Scott a very distant eight shots behind. The World Golf Championships are played over five continents – and feature the top 50 players from the Official World Golf Rankings along with top finishers on the money lists of six Tours comprising the International Federation of PGA Tours (PGA TOUR, European Tour, Australasian Tour, Japan Golf Tour, Asian Tour and Southern Africa Tour). The formats vary - match play, strokeplay and team - but the purses are always big. On this occasion, Tiger walked away (or rather flew away in his private jet) with over 1 million euros. Hardly worth turning up was it?!
