The 43-year-old South African also joins South Korean pair Yang Yong-eun and KJ Choi, Fijian Vijay Singh and Jeev Milkha Singh of India as an honorary member of the 10-year tour.

"It is a great honor for me... this is absolutely wonderful," Els said in a news release yesterday. "I've played in Asia for many, many years and... this is something which I will take seriously.

Former world number one Els has been a big supporter of the Asian Tour, featuring in 26 tournaments across the region since 2004 and picking up two victories and 16 other top-10 finishes.
