Trevor Immelman is one of South Africa’s most celebrated golfers. Born in Cape Town he is a true Cape Townian with the relaxed temperament and calm demeanor. His ability to keep his head down and concentrate has earned him many titles. The Trevor Immelman profile begins in 1984 when he picked up his first set of golf clubs at the age of five.
