The second-ranked amateur golfer in the world is turning pro.
Oklahoma State golfer Eugenio Chacarra has signed a three-year deal with the controversial Saudi-backed golf league LIV Golf. The news was first reported by Spanish newspaper Marca and has since been confirmed by multiple sources.
“My position is that of a player who is not a member of the PGA Tour or the DP World Tour, and I have not earned money while I have been an amateur, so I can play in this league without problems,” Chacarra told Marca (translated from Spanish).
