Competitors on the golf course and colleagues from the world of broadcasting have paid tribute to Oosterhuis, who was the dominant force in European golf at the inception of the European Tour in 1972, winning the Order of Merit in its first three official seasons, following on from his success in 1971.

He made six consecutive appearances in the Ryder Cup, firstly for Great Britain & Ireland and latterly for Europe.

After retiring from the sport, he enjoyed a second career in broadcasting, working as part of CBS's team for 20 years.
