    Records

    Charl Schwartzel's greatest achievement is undoubtedly his victory at the 2011 Masters, where he became only the fourth South African to win the Green Jacket. His final-round 66, which included birdies on the last four holes, is considered one of the greatest finishes in major championship history.Beyond that, his consistency and longevity are remarkable. He has amassed 16 professional victories across multiple tours, and his career-high world ranking of number six places him among the elite golfers of his era. His successful transition to LIV Golf, where he won the inaugural event, demonstrates his ability to adapt and compete at the highest level.
