Matthew Heath
Origin StoryBorn out of a COVID-era message to golf club members, Ron Chopper became Australia's "favourite everyday golfer" and a golf creator star.
Ron Chopper is the alter ego of Western Australian PGA professional Matthew Heath and one of the most popular golf creators in Australia.
When pandemic restrictions hit, the general manager at Heath's club, Pinjarra, needed to tell members about new playing rules and pro shop changes. Heath made videos to get the message across, and Ron Chopper was born.
With a surprisingly good swing, plenty of humor, and cameraman Joel at his side, Ron's "good player, out of luck" catchphrase and merch have become a common sight at events like the Australian Open and LIV Golf Adelaide, and he has teed it up with Rick Shiels at The Grange.
