As it turns out, he was available to play golf with President Donald Trump and […]
Ernie Els hits the early shot of the day on Friday at the Presidents Cup with this hole out from the bunker
October 5, 2013 by
One of the most used phrases in the match play format of golf is that you must expect your opponent to hole the next shot. It’s rather silly to think that the person is always going to be making full iron shots and long pitch shots, but it’s true that you can never let your […]
Watch Ernie Els convert one of the most unconventional two-putts ever
August 17, 2013 by
On Friday at the Wyndham Championship, Ernie Els had a putt from off the green on the par-4 10th hole for a birdie. His first putt was … not so good. Els didn’t even get the ball on the putting surface, leaving him another putt from off the green for a par. That one he […]

Ernie Els might just have a bit of major magic left
June 17, 2012 by
It’s been a long time since Ernie Els won a major. Ten years almost to the month, to be exact, at the 2002 British Open. You could argue that Els, winner of “only” three majors since 1994, is the greatest victim of the Tiger Woods era, the guy who almost certainly would have three to […]
Ernie Els blasts course conditions at BMW PGA Championship
May 26, 2012 by
If Ernie Els had the opportunity to go back in time and do things differently, he’d probably pass on Wentworth owner Richard Caring’s offer to redesign the famed West Course, site of the European Tour’s BMW PGA Championship. Two years after Els made wholesale changes to the Parkland layout, he’s spent more time recently defending […]
Ernie Els’ Transitions putt doesn’t get any easier to watch
March 20, 2012 by
Oh, Ernie Els. So much hope, so much promise on Sunday afternoon at the Transitions, and it all came undone so quickly. This is the painful putt that led to that oh-so-awkward NBC/Golf Channel interview afterward. I gotta say, if I yipped it like this, I’d have wrapped the putter around someone’s neck. Maybe that’s […]

Ernie Els is one of those rare athletes who became a champion while somehow remaining a favorite of the people, a guy who never seems to draw criticism or disdain. You want Ernie to do well and when he doesn’t, you ache for him. Case in point: Sunday afternoon at the Transitions when Els, who […]
