MADRID — Golf great Seve Ballesteros has died. He was 54.

According to a statement on his website, Ballesteros died early Saturday surrounded by his family at his home in the northern Spanish town of Pedrena.

The Ballesteros family said it "is very grateful for all the support and gestures of love that have been received since Seve was diagnosed with a brain tumour on 5th October 2008."

On Friday, his family announced that the five-time major winner had suffered "severe deterioration" in his recovery from a cancerous brain tumor.

How very sad. He was a character and great golfer. He lit up golf when he burst onto golfing scene when leading The Open back in 1976. Sometimes wayward, but fun to watch.

I was on the golf course here in Houston when I heard he passed away. Great man and big influence on many young golfers
