‘I Trusted Them’: LIV Golf Allegedly Duping Young Recruits With False Promises as Ex-Player Speaks Out

LIV Golf guys play in majors, but it depends on their past performances. It’s always a challenge for so many of them to qualify. They know this now, but when the league was started in 2022, they did not know this. Eugenio Chaccara, who was recently released by Sergio Garcia’s Fireballs GC team from LIV Golf, opens up about how the trust of the players was broken when they were offered tons of money.

“When I joined LIV they promised OWGR and majors. But it didn’t happen. I trusted them. I was the first young guy, then the others came after I made the decision. But OWGR and majors still hasn’t happened. I saw you last year when they pulled the bid. It’s frustrating, but I’m excited for the new opportunity and to see where my game takes me.” he said in an interview with Flushing It Golf.

He also called out LIV for being money-oriented: “I see what it’s like to win on the PGA Tour and how your life changes. How you get major access and ranking points. On LIV, nothing changes, there is only money. It doesn’t matter if you finish thirtieth or first, only money. I’m not a guy who wants more money. What will change my life is playing in Hawaii and qualifying for the majors, qualifying for the Masters, the Ryder Cup.”

24 year old, Eugenio Chacarra won on LIV in just his 5th start after turning pro. He’s also won on the International Series. But heading into 2025, he has a new goal, to achieve his life long dream of gaining a PGA Tour card:
