The Els for Autism Foundation was established in 2009 by Liezl and Ernie Els. The Els’ son, Ben,
is impacted by the disorder which affects 1 in 68 children in the U.S. The world-class pro golfer and his wife have devoted their efforts to a game-changing, philanthropic project – The Els Center of Excellence.
