Colin Montgomerie marries for the third time

Professional golfer Colin Montgomerie has married for the third time.

The Scotsman, 59, announced that he had married his sports agent Sarah in a social media post on his Instagram page on Tuesday afternoon.

Colin shared a photo of the smiling newlyweds in their bridal best, along with the caption: “Just the perfect day!”

Eschewing traditional white, Sarah looked radiant in a stunning silver Vampires Wife gown with flare sleeves, which retails for £1,595.

She held a modest bouquet of white flowers in her hands as she stood next to her new husband, who looked dapper in a black tuxedo.

Colin’s latest marriage may surprise his fans as news of the couple’s engagement has not been made public.

Sarah has been featured on Colin’s Instagram page since 2019, suggesting that the couple have been together for at least three years before tying the knot.

Colin has shared photos of trips to the White House together, visiting Graceland and also attending the Wimbledon tennis championships together.

Speaking previously of his ‘adventures’, he told the Scotsman: ‘I enjoy adventures too. Sarah and I drive everywhere and it’s great. We ended up at Graceland and Southfork and the shooting at the OK Corral in Arizona, all these crazy places, for God’s sake.

Sarah has already changed her relationship status to ‘married’ on her Facebook page.

Colin’s nuptials mark the third time he has married, after previously marrying his first wife Eimear Wilson in 1990 and his second wife Gaynor Knowles in 2008.

Colin and Elmear were together for 16 years before divorcing in 2006, while he was married to Gaynor until 2017.

The couple finalized their divorce after reaching an out-of-court agreement.

News of the deal came after a top law lord heard allegations about the sports star’s private life at the Court of Session, at Parliament House in Edinburgh.

Colin, who is believed to be worth £40 million, separated from his second wife in 2015 following allegations about his private life.

The divorce was granted on the basis that the couple had not lived together for 12 months.

The agreement, which was drawn up after Colin was caught cheating, reportedly committed him to pay £2 million upkeep on Gaynor’s Perthshire home.

Colin believed the deal was neither fair nor reasonable and was suing Gaynor for £5 million and demanding payments of £6,500 per month from him.

Court documents filed by Colin’s legal team claim Gaynor pressured him into entering into a postnuptial agreement so their marriage could continue.

The newspapers said that Gaynor had discovered that her husband had been having an extramarital affair. She inherited the property from her when her first husband, businessman George Knowles, died.

His attorneys claimed the golfer wanted to make changes to the property when he moved.

Gaynor was said to have agreed to transfer the house to their joint names on the condition that if they parted ways he would return title.

It was also said that he agreed to bear all reasonable costs of the house for the rest of his life.

Gaynor, a mother of four, countersued Montgomerie for £5 and £10,000 a month. The case was eventually settled out of court.

Colin, who captained Europe to a memorable Ryder Cup victory in 2010, married Gaynor in 2008 in a lavish £1.2m ceremony at Loch Lomond Golf Club.

Colin has won a record eight European Tour Order of Merit titles, including a run of seven straight from 1993 to 1999.
