RESULT!: Els rolls over for Tiger; IN ASSOCIATION WITH betfair.Byline: DEREK McGOVERNHOW much better is Tiger Woods than the chasing pack? Well, put it this way, Ernie Els Theodore Ernest "Ernie" Els (born October 17, 1969) is a South African golfer who 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. has just unveiled his dynamic new strategy to catch Woods as world No.1 - and it's a three-year plan. "I see 2007 as the start of a three-year plan where I totally re-dedicate myself to the game," the South African said. Does that mean that all the punters who backed him over the last few years have been putting their hard-earned on an undedicated Els?

Els surprisingly claims he's "fitter than I have been since I came out of the army."

Anyway, the bookies aren't buying into Ernie's boasts - they're more interested in how many Majors Tiger will win this year. And Skybet go just 25-1 that he wins all four. In fact he's so good that I reckon he'll win five. Woods Majors 2007: 5-2 none, 6-4 one, 9-4 two, 15-2 three, 25-1 four. Additional reporting by John Shaw |
