Eugenio Chacarra Receives Sponsor Exemption for PGA Tour’s Puerto Rico Open

The invitation signals a thaw in access for former LIV players seeking a path back to the PGA Tour.

Overview

  • Eugenio Chacarra has been granted a sponsor exemption into the Puerto Rico Open, scheduled for March 5–8 with a $4 million purse.
  • Coverage presents the move as evidence the PGA Tour is reopening opportunities to players who previously left for LIV Golf.
  • Chacarra said he is very thankful for the chance and reaffirmed that playing on the PGA Tour has been his lifelong goal.
  • The Spaniard’s recent resurgence includes winning the 2025 Hero Indian Open to secure full DP World Tour status and a spot in the 2025 PGA Championship.
