Golf and the year 2018 will always be synonymous with Francesco Molinari. A Rolex Series win at the BMW PGA Championship, a Claret Jug at The Open Championship, a historic, record-breaking Ryder Cup and a Race to Dubai title. In the video above, European Tour Originals takes you behind-the-scenes with exclusive access as the Italian looks back on an incredible year and travels to Rome to be presented with the revered Collare d’Oro award.
The 36 year old from Turin experienced a year of stunning success. Molinari won his first major with victory in the 2018 Open Championship at Carnoustie before becoming the first European player to win all five matches during his team’s Ryder Cup triumph over the United States. Molinari also won the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth and romped to an eight shot win at the Quicken Loans National in July to secure his first win on the PGA Tour. He comfortably won the European Tour’s season-long Race to Dubai to succeed Ryder Cup partner Tommy Fleetwood as Europe’s number one player.
