Cabrera Eligible to Play in PGA Tour
Two-time major champion Angel Cabrera, who was released on parole from an Argentina prison in August for gender violence, has been cleared to play in PGA Tour-sanctioned events.
Cabrera, who won the U.S. Open in 2007 and the Masters in 2009, served two years in prison for threats and harassment of his former partners. Despite the PGA Tour not publicizing conduct violations, a tour spokesman confirmed that Cabrera is eligible to play.
In an interview with Golf Digest, Cabrera expressed his desire to clean up his image from his past mistakes and acknowledged the embarrassment he feels for his behavior.
Cabrera's Journey Towards Redemption
During the interview with Golf Digest, Cabrera revealed that he is undergoing treatment for alcohol addiction and is taking daily medication that causes sickness if he drinks. He has also been attending alcohol education courses for six hours per week.
In addition, Cabrera shared his commitment to completing his education and obtaining a sixth-grade diploma. He has been using his time after his release on parole to finish his classes and improve himself.
Cabrera's longtime coach arranged for him to receive a new set of golf clubs from Ping and has been supporting him in his journey towards redemption.
Cabrera's Return to the Golf Course
After his release on parole, Cabrera played in a tournament in Rosario, Argentina, and tied for 10th place. The PGA Tour has lifted his suspension, allowing him to participate in future events.
Although it is uncertain whether Cabrera will be invited to the Masters, where champions have a lifetime exemption, he expressed his hope to return to the prestigious tournament.
Cabrera's golf career has been marked by various achievements and notable wins. He aims to rehabilitate his image and regain the stature he had as an athlete.
