Erik van Rooyen
🇿🇦
#175·UPDATED May 28, 2026
Erik van Rooyen is a South African professional who plays primarily on the PGA Tour, with a Korn Ferry Tour title and two DP World Tour victories on his record, including the 2021 Scandinavian Mixed. He has represented South Africa at the Olympics and built a reputation as one of the more colorful dressers in the field. The Callaway Elyte driver, built at 10.5 degrees and turned down to 9.5, sits at the top of a bag that has been Callaway top to bottom across every snapshot on file. The iron stack tells the longer story: an X Forged UT utility has held the 21-degree slot through every recorded build, paired now with an Apex Pro 4-iron and Apex TCB from 5 through pitching wedge on Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100. The Odyssey Toulon Design San Diego putter has not moved since 2020, making it the single most durable piece in the setup.

Bag History
4 snapshots tracked, 2020-2025
Across four snapshots dating back to 2020, the driver head has cycled through Callaway models from Epic Flash to Paradym to Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond and now Elyte, with no other brand entering the conversation. The X Forged UT utility and the Toulon San Diego putter have survived every iteration. The mid and short irons have shifted within the Callaway lineup, moving from Apex MB blades in the earlier bags to a TCB-based stack with an Apex Pro 4-iron in the current build. The ball moved from Titleist Pro V1 in 2020 to Chrome Soft X and then to the current Chrome Tour.
