Ernie Els affectionately known as the Big Easy due to his gentle easy going demeanour and fluid rhythmic golf swing is one of the most engaging players in the modern game.
Ernie has over 70 professional career victories to his name, including four Major Championships, two World Golf Championships and seven World Matchplay titles. As a former World No.1 Ernie is one of the most prolific winners of his generation and the global reach of his victories is almost without parallel. Ernie has triumphed in tournaments in South Africa, Europe, the USA, Asia, the Far East, the Middle East and Australasia.
Ernie was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2011 and the South African Golf Hall of Fame in 2009. He was also presented with the Payne Stewart award in September 2015.
