For over 20 years I ran a charity Golf Outing, I would write to over 6,000 sports figures, actors, actress, world leaders and politicians asked for donation of signed items, every year that I contacted Mr. Els she was kind enough to send us a signed item. This is one of the items he sent us. I won this in one of the raffles and it is now time to get rid of some of the signed items that I have saved.
Theodore Ernest Els was born 17 October 1969, is a South African professional golfer. A former
World No. 1
, he is known as "The Big Easy" due to his imposing physical stature (he stands 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m)) along with his fluid golf swing. Among his more than 70 career victories are four
major championships
: the
U.S. Open
in
1994
at
Oakmont
and in
1997
at
Congressional
, and
The Open Championship
in
2002
at
Muirfield
and in
2012
at
Royal Lytham & St Annes
. He is one of six golfers to twice win both the U.S. Open and The Open Championship.
Other highlights in Els' career include topping the 2003 and 2004
European Tour
Order of Merit (money list), and winning the
World Match Play Championship
a record seven times. He was the leading career money winner on the European Tour until overtaken by
Lee Westwood
in 2011, and was the first member of the tour to earn over €25,000,000 from European Tour events. He has held the number one spot in the
Official World Golf Ranking
and until 2013 held the record for
weeks ranked in the top ten
with 788. Els rose to fifteenth in the
world rankings
after winning the
2012 Open Championship
. He was elected to the
World Golf Hall of Fame
in 2010, on his first time on the ballot, and was inducted in May 2011.
When not playing, Els has a golf course design business, a charitable foundation that supports golf among underprivileged youth in South Africa, and a

business. He has written a popular golf instructional column in
