With 11 PGA tour titles and more than 50 victories worldwide, Ernie Els is a truly global athlete. He was the 2002 British Open champion and two-time winner of the U.S. Open. Throughout his career, Els has personified the same winning attributes -- determination, resourcefulness, and reliability -- that have made SAP the leader in business software applications. In his role as a global ambassador for SAP, Els wears the SAP logo on his headgear and golf apparel.

Els began the 2007 season with an impressive victory at the South African Airways Open. A final round 65 helped him take the trophy from the 2006 PGA Tour's rookie of the year and fellow South African, Trevor Immelman. More recently, Els finished in the top three of the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters, with birdies on the final three holes. This impressive performance has put Els at number four in the 2007 Official World Golf Ranking, displacing Phil Mickelson.

Els has a clear goal -- to regain the number-one spot from Tiger Woods within three years. With this renewed focus and his unrivalled natural talents, SAP is confident that Ernie Els will ultimately reach his goal, and continue to be one of the greatest golfers of his generation.
