The gentleman’s sport is celebrated globally! Not only for its talented golfers but also for its kind-heartedness, which often results in heartwarming moments. The golf course has borne witness to the presence of many families of pro golfers and their deep sentiments towards the game. It’s not just the wives and families of the pros who demonstrate gestures of support for their husbands, sons, and fathers; the pro players themselves often do so too. What makes us say this? The kind and loving gesture that came forward for Charl Schwartzel’s wife.

A heartwarming video recently went viral from the official Instagram page of the LIV Golf team, @stingergc_, showing LIV golfer Charl Schwartzel and his team shaving their heads. The team members did so to support Schwartzel’s wife, Rosalind Schwartzel, who is battling breast cancer. Her husband and other LIV golfers are standing by her, offering support with the help of this compassionate act.

The pro and his team expressed their support for Schwartzel’s wife, stating, “She has been incredibly strong with her treatments for breast cancer, and the Stingers are showing their support.” The 40-year-old further emphasized, “As her husband, I love her very much.” Touched by the kind gesture, the golfer’s wife commented, “Love you all 🩷🩷🙏🏻🙏🏻.”

The couple started dating in 2008 and got married in 2010. Their journey together so far has been bliss, and with a roadblock like cancer, the couple’s love only seems to grow stronger. The golfer thinks highly of his life, and in one of the interviews with Augusta.com, he once said, “It can be a very, very lonely life. To have someone out there, I don’t have to worry too much. She’s very independent and goes out and does things. But she’s out there walking with me for support in rain and wind. That means a lot.”

As the video circulated on social media, it garnered a lot of attention. The comments poured in with a lot of appreciation, prayers, and love for the team and Schwartzel’s wife.
