Colin Montgomerie: I want to win a major on the seniors circuit I have missed standing on a tee with the belief 'I can win this event. In truth I have not experienced that feeling for three years - probably not since I took on the Ryder Cup captaincy. Roger Chapman was at the London luncheon on Monday receiving honorary life membership of the European Tour for the tremendous feat of winning two senior majors this year in America. Roger has shown me what is possible. I want to win a major, I want to be competitive again. Playing well to finish 20th on the European Tour does not really do it for me. As golfers we are lucky our careers can continue. And I am determined mine will. There might also be opportunities for me on American television (I did a few guest spots on the Golf Channel during the Ryder Cup) and, with Sky as well, this could tie in with my schedule over there. It is very exciting and, of course, even more so because of this Hall of Fame honour. The new season cannot come soon enough. Like everyone involved in the game I cannot wait to discover what happens next in the Rory McIlroy story. I'm not worried by his equipment switch. Golf clubs are like cars nowadays, in that there is no such thing as a bad one. His new equipment providers will already have found out what he likes and with his talent he will find it pretty straightforward. To me, he is such a hot favourite to win The Masters. And if he does the whispers will start of the Grand Slam. It would be over the top but understandable. That is where we are with Rory. He has put a huge distance between himself and the rest and now we await to see if he can kick on. He is only 23, for goodness sake, and all the way through his remarkable tale he has always learnt the lessons and progressed. I expect this upward curve to carry on a good while yet. There will be those determined to chase him down; those like Lee Westwood. Lee is at the beginning of his own exciting new phase as he settles into his home in Florida with his family, having moved from Worksop. Lee's a good friend and I would love to see the benefits of living over there helping him to win the major he has so long deserved. It really could be the missing link for Lee, who turns 40 in April. I would make one plea to Lee and the rest of our guys based in the States. I am sure they will stay loyal to the European Tour and appear when they can. Their continued patronage is still important as out of that winning Ryder Cup team, 10 of the 12 will be full members of the PGA Tour. But I am not overly concerned. The European Tour still has such strength in depth and there are some great young players coming through. Keep an eye out for Thorbjorn Olesen in 2013. The young Dane has broken into the top 50, just in time to earn himself a berth at Augusta. Let's just hope a number of us will have positive new chapters to write.
