Christian Cevaer
Residence: Gland, Switzerland
DOB: 04/10/1970
Frenchman Christian Cevaer was actually born in New Caledonia. He became World Junior Champion at 17 before taking up a golf scholarship at Stanford University where he twice won the Pac-10 Championship. He also won the 1989 French Amateur Championship.
He turned professional in 1993 and after a few years on the challenge tour where he won two tournaments; the 1998 Volvo Finnish Open and the 2000 Finnish Masters. However a combination of a swing change and injuries sustained from a skiing accident slowed progress onto the full European Tour. He played only six events as a result of this accident in which he fractured his right elbow joint and damaged ligaments and tendons in 2002 and played 2003 on a medical exemption. He finally made it on the main tour and won his maiden European Tour title in the 2004 Spanish Open which helped him finish 41st on the European Order of Merit.
Christian looked to be in danger of losing his status on The European Tour in 2008 until an inspired joint third place in the Omega European Masters proved a timely return to form and promoted him into 95th place on the Order of merit - inside the magical top-115. His only other top-10 of the season came at the very start. A tie for 7th at the Qatar Masters however could not spark a run of form that could be carried on through the rest of the season.

Christian Cevaer Tournament History
2008 BMW PGA Championship |
22-25 May - BMW PGA Championship - Wentworth Club. Miguel Angel Jiménez completed the BMW treble when he won the BMW PGA Championship with a birdie on the second hole of a play-off to deny England’s Oliver Wilson his maiden European Tour title. Jiménez, who won both the 2004 BMW Asian Open and the 2004 BMW International Open, became the first player to claim the BMW ‘grand slam’ when he tapped in for a winning birdie after tying Wilson with a final round of four under par 68to finish on -11 after 72 holes. |
In Christian Cevaer's bag...This was a disappointing week for the Frenchman. Round of 74 and 73 were not good enough to see him qualify through for the final rounds. Although this is quite a wide shot of Christian the resolution is so good that we can zoom right in to his clubs to identify them. The driver is a TaylorMade Burner TP and the fairway is a TaylorMade Burner TP model. In the middle of his bag there is a pair of TaylorMade Rescue TP hybrids. Although his irons are facing the wrong way our operations team who handle 100’s of sets each day (back up by Christian own website) were able to identify them as TaylorMade Tour Preferred. We can also just make out the Black finish of his TaylorMade RAC TP wedges. The rouge in the pack is the Odyssey White Hot XG putter we can see in the front.

2007 BMW PGA Championship |
24-27 May - BMW PGA Championship - West Course at Wentworth. The BMW PGA Championship was played out on a rain-lashed West Course at Wentworth in Surrey. Traditionally, the PGA attracts one of the strongest fields on the European Tour and this time was no exception with Vijay Singh, Ernie Els, Michael Campbell and others all making the trip across the pond. It was not, however, one of the better known superstars who walked off with the trophy and 725,000 Euro first prize, but Anders Hansen from Denmark who holed a 25 foot birdie putt on the first sudden-death play-off hole against England’s Justin Rose. This was only Hansen’s second victory on Tour – bizarrely the only other win was the same tournament – then called the Volvo PGA – five years earlier in 2002. |
In Christian Cevaer's bag...In Christian's bag at Wentworth - where he finished a very respectable 20th - TaylorMade r7 TP irons, TaylorMade Resuce Dual TP hybrid, r7 425 driver and Odyssey Black Series Putter.
