 Peter
Coleman must be a breath of fresh air for Lee Westwood, who'd gone winless for
two years. They teamed together for a top ten together after Coleman left
Langer, then won in Germany three weeks ago at the BMW in Munich, now they win
again in Scotland at the Dunhill Links Championship. (Parting
caddy Dave Renick left Westwood to go back with V.J. Singh and they won two
weeks ago at Quad Cities on the U.S. PGA Tour.) Following is our story
about the Langer/Coleman split.Caddy Peter Coleman and golf professional Bernard Langer part ways after 22 years! European professional tour caddy Peter Coleman and two time Master's champion Bernhard Langer part ways after a twenty two year working relationship. Their split became official two weeks ago after Coleman paired with Langer for the last 'official' time at Royal St. George's and the British Open. It was the ending of the longest running caddy/partnership in professional golf. (Bruce Edwards has worked twenty some odd years for Tom Watson, but not consecutively like Coleman has for Langer) During their 'reign', Langer won the Masters twice, and over 50 tournaments world wide as well as a member of ten Ryder Cup teams. In parting Langer said. "We had a wonderful time together -and for many years it has worked for both of us but it can only work if it works for the both of you. Peter Coleman will elect to remain in Europe and the British Isles primarily to caddy exclusively for Lee Westwood. Langer has a home in Florida and spends most of his time there now. Said Coleman, "Basically, he wants to be mostly in America and I don't want to be stationed there. I don't want to have to work a couple of weeks in the States and then hang around on my own in some motel waiting for him to come out and play for another couple of weeks. We'll be parting as friends -there's no animosity -and in fact we're both a bit sad about the situation. But his circumstances have changed and I've got my life to lead. We've had some really good times together but I wanted something more stable. I don't want at my age to be jumping on transatlantic planes all the time." Peter is well known in Europe and is the
guy golf fans in the U.S. saw back in the 1980's with the curly 'fro'. He
has a home in the U.K. and wife and daughter. And, his daughter has an
expensive hobby these days -show horses. Said Peter, "She goes for
show jumping and dressage and she's brilliant!. It's costing me
1,000 pounds a month so I can't afford to stop working!"
