Miguel Ángel Martín (golfer)

Miguel Ángel Martín (born 2 May 1962) is a Spanish professional golfer.

In 1997 Martín earned a spot in the European Ryder Cup team via the money list, but was forced to withdraw after failing to recover from a wrist injury sustained in July.

At the time he felt that he had been excluded in order to have a bigger name player involved.

Martín wanted to make his own decision nearer the time, as José María Olazábal had done two years before, but the European Ryder Cup committee requested that he play 18 holes to prove his fitness.

He refused as it was just 30 days after his surgery, and despite receiving support from many players, his place on the team was taken by Olazábal, who was next on the qualification list.
