Is golfer Louis Oosthuizen married?

Louis Oosthuizen has had an incredible career, winning over 20 professional tournaments across the world, including the 2010 Open Championship at St Andrews, dubbed “The Home of Golf.”

With a professional career that spans two decades, one person has been by the South African’s side the entire time: his wife, Nel-Mare.

Louis and Nel-Marie met as children in South Africa, where they both grew up. In 2010, Almari Alberts, Nel-sister-in-law, Mare’s told the Sunday Times, “Louis and Nel-parents Mare’s were family friends, and they visited one other often.” “So the two of them knew one other from a young age.”  Louis was always fascinated by her.”

The pair married in 2007 at NG Church in Mossel Bay, Louis’s hometown, and they have three children together: Jana, Sophia, and Emma. Jana, Sophia, and Emma were born in 2009, 2012, and 2013.

Nel-Mare’s name is a combination of a traditional Dutch surname and her maiden name – Nel is a shortened version of Cornelia
