Early life and amateur career

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".
Van den Berg played on the European Tour in 2008 having won his card at qualifying school at the end of 2007.
