49 Days Until The 2008 Open
Ernie Els started to play golf properly when he was about 8 years old and is now recognised as one of golf’s truly global players.
In March 2008, Els won the Honda Classic. Els shot a final round 67 in tough windy conditions, which was enough to give him the win by one stroke over Luke Donald. The win marked the end of a three and a half year long stretch without a win on the PGA Tour for Els. The win was his 16th PGA Tour victory of his career.
When not playing golf, Els has a golf course design business, a charitable foundation which supports golf for underprivileged children in South Africa, and a highly-regarded wine-making business.
The irons that Els uses are Callaway X-Forged Irons. X-Forged Irons are built for experienced golfers who are looking for perfect shot making and distance control golf club. Callaway X-Forged Irons have a shorter blade length and the thinnest top-line and narrow sole, meaning that the X-Forged Irons provide the serious golfer with every attribute expected in a quality set of irons.
