It’s a crazy game, eh. A couple of weeks ago I missed a very short putt on the last green at Pebble Beach to miss out on a spot in a playoff…and this weekend I make a 40-footer on 18 to win. Figure that one out!
@ChampionsTour
Congrats Hideki Matsuyama. Historic day and win
@TheMasters
for you, your family and your fellow countrymen in Japan. A huge day for international golf. I am so proud of you and so is the entire
@PresidentsCup
team. Well done Hideki!
Just heard the news about Jarrod Lyle. Life is very precious and you have been so strong. We are thinking and praying for you and your family now more than ever. - Ernie, Liezl, Samantha and Ben
Really troubling to see the accident this morning involving
@TigerWoods
. We’ve been friends a very long time, obviously I’m concerned for his wellbeing. He’s always been a fighter and I hope he fully recovers very soon.
We’re so proud of your journey and now you’re the first in the family to wear the rugby Springboks colours. Live every day, a dream for Samantha

We are very sad to hear of Jarrod Lyle’s passing. He fought a good fight and will be forever remembered for his courage, strength, perseverance and the light he brought to all of our lives. The world lost a good man. RIP Jarrod. - Ernie, Liezl, Samantha and Ben
So sad to hear the news of the passing of Sir Michael Parkinson earlier today. What a kind and brilliant man. I met Michael many times here at Wentworth, often in the gym. I feel privileged to have known him and to be able to call him a friend. This is such a loss. I’ve been
It was wonderful serving as captain of such an amazing bunch of guys
@PresidentsCup
. This loss is tough to take and we’re obviously extremely disappointed, but I’m so proud of the way they played & they battled. We gave it our all; it just wasn’t enough. Congrats

Our game is in a good place. Equipment improvements and distance are here to stay. Full stop. We need a ‘serious’ premium on accuracy. Golf courses don’t need to be longer. Make the Tour rough knee high, fairways fast and firm which is fair for all players.
Proud to play my 30th Open this week at Royal St. George’s. Loved links golf right from the start and just had a feel for it and all the shots you have to play. Obviously means a lot to have my name on this beautiful trophy. Time flies!
@TheOpen
When I think of SA legends,
@jacqueskallis75
&
@TheBig_Easy
immediately come to mind. Role models of mine! Happy bday for today, Jakes, & tomorrow, the Big Easy. Thanks for what you’ve done for SA over the years. Hope u two can keep control of those beer boepies moving forward😉
Hats off to
@MarcusRashford
of my ‘beloved reds’
@ManUtd
for his incredibly powerful campaign, raising £20m to supply three million meals & supporting free school meals for disadvantaged children in the UK. What a fine young man & a wonderful role model.
Agree 100 per cent with
@McIlroyRory
. When we
@ErnieElsDesign
toughened up West Course, 6-under won
@BMWPGA
. Had so much blow-back from players, we had to ease up & now 20-under wins.
@EuropeanTour
flagship tournament & other top events need courses ‘major’ tough. Test the best!
Looking forward to my 27th
@usopengolf
and my third at iconic Pebble Beach. A great honour to receive this second special exemption, thank you gentlemen
@USGA
. Excited to continue my story in this great championship.
Pleased with my start today, 4-under par 66
@TheHondaClassic
. Made some nice putts out there & a good way to begin the Florida Swing, always one of my favourite little stretches

Sending my condolences to
@garyplayer
on the passing of your beloved wife Vivienne. What a wonderful woman & what a wonderful life you shared together. My thoughts are with you my friend and of course the rest of your family at this sad time.
Saddened to hear of Tim Rosaforte’s passing today. A brilliant journalist, a great friend and shared many life discussions …I will never forget you Tim.
Love this place and happy with my first two days. Swinging it well and body feels good. Still a lot of work to be done obviously, so you’ve just got to keep going. Just keep the foot on the pedal & try to keep making birdies!
@OMEGAGolfDubai
@EuropeanTour
Any day you play Pebble Beach is one of life’s good days! Making a hole-in-one there is obviously extra special
@PUREFirstTee
@ChampionsTour
That’s ace

in my career.
My take on Trinity Forest
@attbyronnelson
@PGATOUR
. If you play the world's great courses, from St. Andrews to Royal Melbourne to any kind of links, there’s something here. It’s a wide open course, but the 2nd shot is where you miss shots…that’s the mark of great architecture.
Really looking forward to my
@ChampionsTour
debut this week in Hawaii
@MEC_golf
. Going to be fun to reconnect with friends that I grew up competing with. These guys are sharp, so you have to bring some serious game in order to compete & win. That’s a strong motivation for me.
Proud to be a new global brand ambassador for
@PUMAGolf
. Walking around 6 miles a day, you need the most comfortable & best performing shoe in golf. That’s why I choose PUMA. Really happy to be part of the team guys!
16 years ago today!
@MemorialGolf
was one that I’d been wanting to win for many years, so this clip from 2004 brings back happy memories for me. Excited to be going back here in July. One of the very best stops
@PGATOUR
@jacknicklaus
Great to experience that winning feeling again on a Sunday! Thank you everyone
@HoagClassic
. I’m glad the first one's over with. It gets more comfortable after this.
@ChampionsTour
Just want to send my best wishes to everyone back home as South Africa goes into lockdown for three weeks. Stay safe, stay healthy, my friends. Hopefully we’ll soon be through this and back to normal life. 🇿🇦
Got to say, Royal Portrush was incredible! Hats off to all
