Schwartzel 'feeling good' about second Green Jacket
Cape Times
|April 10, 2025
FORMER Masters champion Charl Schwartzel will go into Thursday’s first round at Augusta National full of confidence that he can repeat his winner’s exploits of 2011.
He will be one of three South Africans at golf’s first major of the year, and the 40-year-old has set his sights on a second Green Jacket in 2025.
After a strong performance in his last tournament at the LIV Golf Miami event, where he came second, Schwartzel feels a consistent performance could aid his challenge for a second win.
For the first time in a couple of years, he arrived at Augusta with clarity on what lies ahead.
“I am feeling good about it, to be honest,” he said about his Masters chances.
“There were a lot of good signs for me at the beginning of this year.
“I’ve worked hard, I’ve gotten a lot fitter, and have lost a lot of kilogrammes.
“I am feeling good in general, so we will see.
“I am quite content.
“I am very privileged to play Augusta, and we’ll keep it at that.”
