Ernie Els<\/h5>\n
Proprietor & Head of Design<\/div>\n
Ernie Els is golf\u2019s true international ambassador. He has won 70 professional tournaments around the world, including four major championships (2002 & 2012 Open Championship, 1994 & 1997 US Open), two World Golf Championship events and a record seven World Matchplay titles. And, in his capacity as one of the game\u2019s leading player architects, he has created award winning golf courses all over the world, too. Ernie 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. Ernie Els Design formulates unique relationships with the world\u2019s finest developers in the creation of new golf courses and the renovation and modernisation of existing classics. These courses will be as much Ernie\u2019s legacy as the numerous tournament wins in the record books. \u201cThe golf courses that we create will be here long after I\u2019ve gone,\u201d says Ernie. \u201cThat means something and it makes me feel very proud.\u201d<\/div>\n
