Lane was in Mauritius in December for the 2022 Legends Tour’s season-ending MCB Tour Championship, where he presented the renamed Barry Lane Rookie of the Year trophy to Brazil’s Adilson Da Silva.
“We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Barry Lane. To have seen such a level of success across both the European Tour and the now Legends Tour shows his dedication to the game of golf and he was a much-loved figure on both tours,” said European Tour group chief executive Keith Pelley.
“The renaming of the Legends Tour’s Rookie of the Year trophy in his honour is a fitting tribute, and I’m delighted he had the opportunity to present it in December.”
