Will Ernie Els be a leading figure again in Rio 2016?
This year the Olympics are being held at England and it is going to be the last year in which golf is not going to be included in the Games. The next Olympics, which are going to take place in 2016, will also include golf in it. The venue for the 2016 Olympics
is Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The main events are going to take place in the prestigious Maracanã Stadium. It is thought to be one of the best and the most successful Olympic Games.
There has already been tremendous amount of hype created for the event and people have already started to make plans for it.
The news that Golf will be an Olympic sport has left many golfers very excited. Many players have given a positive feedback about the news.
Players are very excited to be a part of the Olympics. This is better for the sport as it will get more fame and people will start taking more interest in it.
The former number one golfer in the world ranking, Lee Westwood thinks that this is a positive sign for the golfers. He is of the view that they will have a “much wider ranging audience”.
Other world renowned players like Tiger Woods and Padraig Harrington are also in support of the game being included in the Olympics.
They are well aware that they would have a much larger stage to perform on. This feeling of acceptance of the sport in the Olympics is a mutual feeling in the players.
They all have shown tremendous amount of excitement and cannot wait for the 2016 Olympics to begin. Another player who is very much excited by the news of golf being included in the Olympics is the South African professional golfer, Ernie Els.
For quite a long time now Ernie Els has been in the spotlight. He has impressed the spectators as well as his fellow golfers with his game time and again. He is a strong contender for every tournament he plays. He has been consistent about his game and never
loses his concentration.
Ernie Els is going to represent South Africa in the 2016 Olympics. As always, he is going to be one of the top contenders to win the tournament. He has proven himself to be the best many times now and is presently one of the most successful golfers on the
face of the earth.
Els is one of those players who are always interested in new challenges. He, like many other players, cannot wait for the 2016 Olympics to start.
Presently, he is in good form and giving a consistent performance. Now the matter is that there is still four years for the 2016 Olympics. Els is 42 years old now, by then, he will be 46 years old.
Four years from now, there is a chance that Els may not be the same player he is right now. He would be too old to play. Right now he is at his peak. He might have a down fall in the next four years.
Analysts are of the view that in the Olympics, Els will not be a good option for the South African team. He would be just dead weight for them.
Ernie Els might be the leader at the Olympics. He just might pull it off. Anything can happen at the prestigious Olympic stage. Only time will tell the future of Ernie Els.
