Ernie Els

Ernie Els is one of the most successful golfers in the history of the game, having won more than 60 tournaments since turning professional in 1989, including two US Opens and an Open Championship, and a record seven World Matchplay titles. Ernie has occupied a place in the world's top-10 for over 730 consecutive weeks, more than any other currently active golfer, and the international scope of his victories is second to none.

Ernie is one of golf's truly global players and as such has probably more experience of the countless different type golf courses found around the world than any other contemporary top player in the game. This worldly experience gives Ernie a broad vision of the various elements of golf course design and how they are best brought together to produce a golf course which is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also challenging and enjoyable for golfers of all standards.
