Career
After his amateur career in the junior sector, he became a professional golfer at the age of 18 and qualified for the European Tour in the same year .

In 2006 Schwartzel achieved his best position in the European money list with 18th place and then he won the overall ranking of the Sunshine Tour for the third time in a row.
