Eugenio Chacarra, a one-time prodigy who won a LIV event in Bangkok in 2022, is attempting to earn entry onto the PGA Tour.
This is following the decision of his former team, Fireballs GC, not to re-sign Chacarra for the 2025 season.
Chacarra dreams to end up on the sport’s main tour, but he faces a hurdle. He’s banned from playing in any PGA Tour-sanctioned events for 12 months since his last LIV event.
The 24-year-old is a former world No. 2 amateur who turned pro straight out of college and joind LIV Golf in a recruitment that was seen as a major blow to the PGA Tour at the time.
In an interview with Flushing It Golf, Chacarra says he’s grateful for the financial boost he received from LIV, but says he was ultimately let down.
“I see what it’s like to win on the PGA Tour and how your life changes. How you get major access and ranking points. On LIV, nothing changes, there is only money,” Chacarra said.
“It doesn’t matter if you finish 30th or first, only money. I’m not a guy who wants more money.
“What will change my life is playing in Hawaii and qualifying for the majors, qualifying for the Masters, the Ryder Cup.
“When I joined LIV, they promised OWGR and majors. But it didn’t happen. I trusted them.
“I was the first young guy, then the others came after I made the decision. But OWGR and majors still hasn’t happened.
“It’s frustrating, but I’m excited for the new opportunity and to see where my game takes me.”
Chacarra then want on to bizarrely compare himself to PGA Tour star Ludvig Aberg, believing he’s “similar” to the world No. 6 but without the same opportunities.
“We have performed similar. What tours I can play on, I have won. Same with him, but he’s the No. 6 player in the world and everyone talks about him.
“On LIV, I’m the only young guy who’s won, and they never talk about me. They always talk about the same guys. I’m not blaming them, they probably know more, but they don’t really care about the young guys much.”
