Speaking yesterday in Madrid where he was supporting the city's bid to stage the 2018 Ryder Cup, Seve said: "I will not be in 100 per cent condition to compete, but I am happy and looking forward to playing the champions challenge because I think I can do very well and say thank you to all my UK fans at St Andrews, where I have many great memories."
Ballesteros won the second of his three Opens at St Andrews in 1984, denying Tom Watson a record-equalling sixth victory.
