In addition to rising his profession by incomes himself a win through the DP World Tour.
Chacarra On LIV Golf
Eugenio Chacarra’s introduction to the world of professional golf was enjoying on LIV. He was within the no. 2 world novice rating when he joined LIV in 2022. He did discover some success within the league; he managed to realize victory within the 2022 Bangkok occasion. Nevertheless, not every little thing was what it appeared. One main level of rivalry Chacarra had with the league was his place within the OWGR. In an interview with Flushing It, Chacarra continued…
“After I joined LIV they promised OWGR and majors. But it surely didn’t occur. I trusted them. I used to be the primary younger man, then the others got here after I made the choice. However OWGR and majors nonetheless hasn’t occurred. I noticed you final 12 months once they pulled the bid. It’s irritating…”
Chacarra’s Not Feeling Too Achieved
Regardless of Chacarra saying that he’s grateful for his time on LIV Golf, he has loads of different criticisms of the league. A serious situation Chacarra has had is how he’s not acknowledged regardless of having an occasion win below his belt so early into his profession.
“I’m a winner and I used to be by no means handled like a winner. On the PGA Tour, Ludvig Aberg has one win and I’ve one win on LIV. He has one win on the European Tour and I’ve one win on the Worldwide Sequence on the Asian Tour. So we have now comparable careers, however he has far more expertise and performs far more massive tournaments, however we have now the identical wins. We have now carried out comparable,” Chacarra stated. “What excursions I can play on, I’ve gained. Similar with him. However he’s the quantity 6 participant on the planet and everybody talks about him. However on LIV, I’m the one younger man who’s gained, they usually by no means speak about me.

Certain, it’s good to be wealthy, however he’s there for the game itself.
“I see what it’s prefer to win on the PGA Tour and the way your life adjustments. The way you get main entry and rating factors. On LIV, nothing adjustments; there’s solely cash. It doesn’t matter for those who end thirtieth or first, solely cash. I’m not a man who needs extra money.”
