Ernie Els targets return to best form

Ernie Els insists that he has not lost his desire to succeed after a disappointing 2014.

Ernie Els has claimed that he is as determined as ever to achieve success ahead of another busy year on tour.

The last of the South African's 67 victories came at the BMW International Open in 2013, but he is confident of returning to his best form on a regular basis this season.

"My targets and priorities for the year ahead remain the same as ever. Competition is what still drives me; it's in my blood," the 45-year-old told Sky Sports News.

"Any time you lift a trophy it's a wonderful moment so I want to keep working hard, keep giving it 100%, to try to experience that again and hopefully win one or two more Majors before I'm done.

"Even just saying those words gets the juices flowing."

Els will act as tournament host and ambassador at this week's South African Open Championship.
