Who would you say it is?

Let's not talk about nae legs please

On world wide audience it has to be Steven Pienaar ?

Is he a hero in South Africa ?

Ernie Els, although past his prime and was a terrible choker. He still won 4 majors and competed with Tiger when Tiger was unbeatable ( will a golfer ever start odds on again in a Major ?).

Yes, must still be 'The Big Easy'.

Ernie a light of other days.
Current golfers now very disappointing.
Possibly Chad le Clos

Ernie was my original choice

But the EPL has the biggest TV audience of any sport ?

David Miller maybe not famous in South Africa but certainly has his followers in India especially in Punjab.

+1 absolutely agree.... I was on holiday in the USA in July and every person I met who realized I was South African, mentioned the great Gary Player!
