Schwartzel is not a name those in the states might recognize; but now that he’s playing full time on the PGA Tour this year, you’ll be seeing his name quite a bit. Born and raised in the RSA, Schwartzel started his professional career on the European Tour in 2002 and as amassed €7,392,931 in earnings to date. Last year, he finished 8th in the “Race to Dubai,” the European equivalent to the PGA’s Fedex Cup. He’s won at least one event on the European Tour since 2005, including two in 2010 and won the Joburg Open in South Africa early this year. Schwartzel made his first start in the states at the Accenture Match Play last week and was dismissed in the second round. He is in the field at the Honda Classic and is one shot off the lead at -2.
