Chacarra to Make PGA Tour Debut at Co-Sanctioned Scottish Open

Securing DP World Tour membership through his Hero Indian Open triumph allows him to bypass a PGA Tour suspension.

Eugenio Chacarra of Spain looks on following his second shot on the 10th hole on day two of the BMW International Open 2025 at Golfclub Munchen Eichenried on July 04, 2025 in Munich, Germany.

Overview

  • Chacarra will tee up at the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open, a tournament co-sanctioned by the PGA and DP World Tours that permits his entry despite an active PGA Tour ban.
  • His March victory at the Hero Indian Open earned him full DP World Tour status and propelled him from 309th to about 180th in the Official World Golf Ranking.
  • The PGA Tour suspended him through September 2025 for competing in LIV Golf, but his European Tour membership qualifies him under the Scottish Open’s eligibility rules.
  • Chacarra publicly accused LIV Golf and Greg Norman of reneging on promises of OWGR points and major-championship access, prompting his exit and forfeiture of an estimated $16 million in guarantees.
  • His breakthrough highlights how co-sanctioned events offer strategic loopholes around tour politics and suspension policies for up-and-coming players.
