Charl Schwartzel, the 2011 Masters champion, is married to Rosalind Jacobs.
Her father, Brian Jacobs, was the golf teaching pro at Meyerton Golf Club near Schwartzel’s hometown, and she was a ranked provincial tennis player.
She is also the second cousin of Justin Rose, who was the world number one at the time.
Rosalind Jacobs: Who is Charl Schwartzel’s wife?
We believe they began dating in 2008, after Charl had gone through a difficult breakup and his golf game had suffered.
His performance improved when they started dating. “No matter what you do, it all starts at home,” Charl told Augusta.com (opens in new tab).
“If you’re pleased at home, it will show in your work life… [His golf] wasn’t going anywhere after the split. Since meeting Rosalind, I’ve been really content with myself.”
Rosalind Schwartzel has previously expressed her gratitude for Schwartzel’s on-tour support, adding, “She encourages me very much and travels everywhere.” It can be a terribly lonely existence.
I don’t have to be concerned since there is someone out there. She is quite self-reliant and enjoys going out and doing stuff.
We believe the couple has only one child, a girl named Olivia. The pair keeps their personal lives private.
