Overview
- Video and tournament statements show Eugenio Chacarra and his former caddie Adolfo Juan Luna clashed on the practice putting green at the Omega European Masters on Sunday, with security officers and local police moving in to separate the parties.
- Footage circulating online appears to capture Chacarra saying he had been struck, though officials have not publicly confirmed the specifics of any physical contact.
- Reports link the dispute to a long‑running financial row over Chacarra’s 2022 LIV Golf Bangkok winner’s cheque when Luna previously caddied for him.
- The DP World Tour has said it will speak to everyone involved and multiple outlets report Chacarra faces a formal conduct warning, while Irish Open organisers have kept Chacarra and Luna apart in the draw as a precaution.
- The episode poses a reputational risk for Chacarra as he bids for Ryder Cup consideration after a strong 2026 season and a secured 2027 PGA Tour card, so selectors and tour officials will be watching how the disciplinary inquiry unfolds.
