LA QUINTA, Calif. – For the first time in nearly two decades as a professional golfer, Charl Schwartzel didn’t spend December back home in Vereeniging, South Africa.
Instead, the 36-year-old remained in Florida because of travel concerns during the pandemic. The bad news is, he hasn’t seen his family in a year. The good news is, he was able to spend a lot of time working on his game.
“I haven't seen my folks in more than a year and I haven't even seen my new baby boy that's a year old, so it's sad,” Schwartzel said Thursday at The American Express.
