The two-time major winner is on probation having served 30 months for domestic violence and other crimes
Golf has a period of grace to decide whether to welcome Angel Cabrera back to the competitive game after the two-time major winner was released from prison having served 30 months for domestic violence and other crimes.
Cabrera, 53, is on probation until the end of 2024 and will not be able to travel internationally. That means the Masters – which always invites its former champions to play in the season’s first major – has until the 2025 edition to give its verdict.
The same applies to the US Senior Tour, although the DP World Tour has revealed to Telegraph Sport that the Argentine, who is an honorary member on the European circuit, has no exemptions for its tournaments.
No judgement has yet been made if Cabrera – the previously popular player nicknamed “El Pato” – could go through the qualifying schools of the Legends Tour – the European equivalent of the US Champions Tour.
