In a surprising turn of events, the PGA Tour has cleared Angel Cabrera, the two-time major champion, to participate in their sanctioned events. Cabrera, famously known for his victories at the U.S. Open in 2007 and the Masters in 2009, had recently been released from prison in Argentina on parole for gender violence.
While the PGA Tour does not disclose conduct violations to the public, a tour spokesman has confirmed that the 54-year-old Argentine is now eligible to compete. Cabrera, who served a two-year sentence for threatening and harassing his former partner Cecilia Torres Mana, expressed his desire to rebuild his tarnished image in a recent interview with Golf Digest.
