Huggett honoured for service to golf
The award has been made to recognise Huggett’s achievements over more than half a century. He was instrumental in the Ryder Cup being staged in Wales for the first time two years ago.
European Tour chief executive George O’Grady said: “Brian undoubtedly played a crucial role in the formation of The European Tour and also the development of The Ryder Cup into the unique contest it is today.
“As a player he was a terrific competitor and this is a deserved reward for an outstanding career.”
Huggett said: This is a big honour for me. At 75 I thought I had missed out so it is very special.”
