Early life and amateur career

Van den Berg was born in East London. He had a successful amateur career which peaked in 1997 when he won the South African Amateur Strokeplay Championship, the Transvaal Amateur, and the Western Province Strokeplay Championship.

Professional career

In 1999, Van den Berg turned professional. He joined the Sunshine Tour. He has several tournament victories on the tour, all on the less lucrative "Winter Swing". [1] [2]

Van den Berg played on the European Tour in 2008 having won his card at qualifying school at the end of 2007. [3] Having been unable to play in more than 10 tournaments in his rookie season due to family reasons, he was granted a conditional card for 2009 on a medical exemption, but failed to win enough money to retain his playing status.
