Els, 40, received 66 percent of votes cast by Hall of Fame members, golf officials and golf journalists. The South African native has won three majors and 62 tournament wins in his 20-year professional career. He will be inducted May 9 at ceremonies at the World Golf Village in St., Augustine, Fla.
Els, who is currently ranked No.3 in the world, will be joined in the induction ceremonies, by Doug Ford, a 19-time PGA Tour winner, who captured the Masters and the PGA Championship, as well as Scottish golfer Jock Hutchison, who, like Ford, was voted in through the Veterans Committee.
In addition, former President George H.W. Bush received a Lifetime Achievement award and will also be enshrined.
