Ernie Els Cutting Schedule to Target Majors

Ernie Els is to cut back on his hectic international schedule in a bid to win more Majors.

The 38-year-old South African is known to be among the most widely-travelled of golfers on the circuits regularly globe-trotting to events in the United States, Europe and Asia.

But he has vowed to be more focussed this year as he looks to add to his Majors haul of two US Opens and one British Open, the last one coming at Muirfield in 2002.

"I think there were maybe times in the past when I've tried to please too many people. Not now," Els told his website.

"I'm 38 and I need to think about me and how I can give myself the best chance to add to the three majors that I've already won.

"The biggest single goal that I have left in this game is to win the career grand slam — to win all four majors at least once — before I'm done. It's important I do everything in my power to make that goal achievable.

"My schedule looks a little different to previous years. This reflects my desire to try to gear my game around the majors and the other big tournaments."

Els, who has struggled to regain his top form since undergoing knee surgery in 2005, will kick off his season at the Dubai Desert Classic starting on 31 January and will not begin his US campaign until the Honda Classic on 28 February.

Since its launch in 1997, Golf International has forged a reputation as the standout quality title in golf publishing. The caliber of columnists, writers, players and coaches is unrivalled, while the design and layout of the magazine separates it still further from the competition. In a congested market wrought with mediocrity, Golf International appeals to committed golfers who are as serious about their game as we are about ours.

The ethos behind Golf International is simple: our aim is to entertain, inform and educate our readers with a wide range of fresh and original editorial. Peter Alliss, Ian Wooldridge, Colin Callander, Tom Cox, Paul Mahoney, Clive Agran and John Huggan are listed among our regular columnists. Other notable contributors include Paul Trow and David Davies. We are particularly proud of our association with the teaching staff of the DLGA, who, under the guidance of the world’s No.1 coach – David Leadbetter – provide some of the finest instruction you will find anywhere. Monty’s coach, Denis Pugh, is another regular contributor, as is leading European Tour coach, Peter Cowen, and one of the world’s most innovative instructors, Robert Baker. The popular Senior Tour player, Tony Johnstone, has also made Golf International his literary home.

With the generous and on-going support of Volvo Car UK, we are committed to developing our Amateur pages, featuring regular profiles, interviews and tournament news from both the men’s and women’s amateur game. Another innovation has been our Business pages, which provide the magazine with a unique angle on business-related stories, along with regular features from our resident experts on golfing memorabilia (Kevin McGimpsey), betting (Jeremy Chapman) and motoring (Anthony ffrench-Constant). We hope you enjoy the magazine and invite you to be a part of our continued success.

With a new distribution partner – Comag – in place from the August ’06 issue (and already delivering a significant increase in newsstand sales), we will be raising our game in the retail sector while at the same time consolidating our position as the premium title in the air and selected-sponsorship sectors.
