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.
