Throughout the 2016 season we took our fans behind the ropes through Facebook Live, giving them the unique chance to engage with stars like Rory McIlroy and Henrik Stenson. See the best six videos here...
6. A Q&A with the Open champion Henrik Stenson
There aren’t many opportunities to grill The Open Champion on his success just a day after lifting the Claret Jug. That’s exactly what European Tour fans got though, when Henrik Stenson touched down in Switzerland for ‘Sergio and Friends' just a day after his famous Open triumph at Royal Troon Golf Club.
5. Live swing tips with Rafa on the range:
A hugely consistent year on tour for Rafa Cabrera Bello had everyone wondering what his secret is. On the range at Golf Club Milano at the Italian Open, Rafa was keen to share his ball-striking tips and answered questions, all while showing off the sort of ball-striking that saw the Spaniard make every cut in 2016.
4. Playing night golf with Brandon and Haydn:
Who better to test out one of the most innovative ways of playing golf than two of the game’s freshest stars? 2016 European Tour winners and close friends Haydn Porteous and Brandon Stone put their game to the test under the lights at the Turkish Airlines Open.
3. All the way to the airport and onto the plane with Alex Noren:
Just a couple of hours after winning his fourth European Tour title of the season, we travelled to the airport in Sun City with man of the moment Alex Noren, following the Swede all the way through security and on to a private plane, as he prepared to depart for Dubai. The 34 year old answered a wide variety of questions from the moment he sat down in the car to the moment he signed off on the runway tarmac:
2. Playing the 18th hole at Wentworth with Luke Donald:
Few players are engaging as Luke Donald, or as well placed to offer up tips on playing the iconic 18th hole at Wentworth Golf Club, so when we went live with the two time BMW PGA Championship winner in May, hundreds of questions flooded in for Donald, who answered them impressively.
1. A personal sit down with Rory McIlroy
Rory joined 18 of the world’s best players as they assembled for Sergio Garcia’s charity day in Switzerland, ‘Sergio and Friends’. After his round we caught up with Rory for a chat and got some unique insight into the world of the four time Major champion.
