Early life and amateur career
Born in Johannesburg, Schwartzel had a fruitful junior amateur career in South Africa and won several amateur competitions in other countries, including the 2002 Indian Amateur and English Open Stroke Play Championships. In the 2002 Eisenhower Trophy, he competed for South Africa.
Professional career
Schwartzel turned professional at the age of eighteen and began to compete with several leading South African players, finishing in late January. After Dale Hayes, he was the second youngest South African golfer to do so. In both 2003 and 2004, he earned enough money to keep his European Tour card.
He won the Dunhill Championship, a major tournament in South Africa that is co-sanctioned by the European Tour, in 2005, and he took first place on the Sunshine Tour's Order of Merit. He came in 5th on the European Tour of Merit in 2005, and he took second place in the Sunshine Tour Order of Merit in 2005. For the first time, his victory at the season-ending Vodacom Tour Championship put him into the top 100 in the Official World Golf Rankings. His form continued to improve in 2006, finishing 18th on the Order of Merit and placing as high as 55th in the World Rankings.
He won the Sunshine Tour Order of Merit for the third year in a row, beating Jyoti Randhawa by a single stroke in April after an eagle at the 543-yard (497 m) par-5 16th holes and climbed to the top 40 holes in the world top 40.
Schwartzel has participated in the Gary Player Invitational many times to assist Gary Player in raising funds for various children's charities. He won the Madrid Masters for the second time in 2008, bringing his European Tour to a close conclusion.
Schwartzel started 2010 by winning two straight tournaments on the European Tour, both held in his home South Africa, and re-entered the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings after a winless 2009 season. On the Order of Merit, he ranked eighth in the season.
Schwartzel appeared on the PGA Tour in 2011. Schwartzel won by four shots on January 16, 2011 a tenacious shot.
Schwartzel won the Masters Tournament in 2011 by two strokes, becoming the third South African winner of the tournament (after Gary Player and Trevor Immelman). He retired exactly 50 years after Player became the first international Masters champion in 1961. Schwartzel defeated a four stroke deficit in the final round with a round of 66, two strokes ahead of runners-up Adam Scott and Jason Day.
On Sunday, Schwartzel began his final round by chipping in from off the green at the first hole for birdie and then shooting his second shot from the fairway's third hole. Rory McIlroy had wiped out the four stroke lead, but Schwartzel bogeyed the fourth hole, falling one behind. He maintained his position for the remainder of the round until he reached the 18 holes where he holed clutch putts to finish with four straight birdies, a record in the Masters' 75th year. He was then pushed back in the lead, winning the Green Jacket and his first major championship. Schwartzel also ranked 11th in the Official World Golf Rankings after the tournament, ranking him 11th from 29th.
Schwartzel enjoyed success in the year's other three major championships this year. He set new records at the U.S. Open and then the PGA Championship, where he tied for ninth and also at the PGA Championship, finishing tied for 12th. He was also in contention at the Open Championship before a third round ruined his chances. He ranked fourth on the Race to Dubai for the fourth time this season.
On December 9, 2012, Schwartzel won the Thailand Golf Championship for his first victory since winning the 2011 Masters. This was also Schwartzel's first victory on the Asian Tour, when he cruised to an eleven stroke victory over the field. Schwartzel took the Alfred Dunhill Championship in his native South Africa the following week.
This was Schwartzel's eighth victory on the European Tour, the third highest margin of victory in the tour's history, with a 12 stroke advantage over Swede Kristoffer Broberg.
Schwartzel defended his Alfred Dunhill Championship in 2013 with a four-stroke victory over England's Richard Finch. This brought his total number of victories on the European Tour to nine.
Schwartzel won his second PGA Tour event on March 13th, defeating Bill Haas after 277 holes on the first hole of sudden death.
It was revealed that Schwartzel would be competing in the first event of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour on May 31, 2022. Schwartzel will resign as a member of the PGA Tour of Canada. The PGA Tour suspended Schwartzel and 16 others on June 9, along with 16 others. Schwartzel is no longer eligible to compete in PGA Tour events or the Presidents Cup since he resigned his membership before the first appearance.
