Ernie Els Biography
Theodore Ernest Els was born in South Africa on 17th October 1969. He turned professional in 1989 and in 1991 he won his first significant tournament on the Sunshine Tour, the Amatola Sun Classic. Ernie joined the European Tour in 1992 and in 1994 he join the PGA Tour.
Ernie has been one of the top professional players in the world since the mid-1990s. A former World No. 1, he is known as "The Big Easy", for his imposing physical stature (he stands 1.90 metres) along with his fluid, seemingly effortless golf swing. Among his numerous victories are three major championships: the U.S. Open in 1994 at the Oakmont Country Club and 1997 at the Congressional Country Club, and the The Open Championship in 2002 at Muirfield.
Other highlights in Els' career include topping the 2003 and 2004 European Tour Order of Merit, and winning the World Match Play Championship a record seven times. He has held the number one spot in the Official World Golf Rankings and has been ranked in the top ten for a record 750 weeks.
