Entering 2025, the state of golf remains as fractured as ever amidst speculation that the new year could bring a unification between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour. And on Friday, former LIV golfer Eugenio Chacarra may have further widened the divide between the two golf leagues when he publically aired his grievances with LIV while announcing his intention to play on the PGA Tour some day.

Chacarra was one of the early golfers to join LIV, leaving college a year early at Oklahoma State to sign a three-year deal with LIV Golf in the spring of 2022. And right away, he found success, winning his fifth-ever start at LIV Golf Bangkok in 2022.

However, Chacarra has failed to replicate that success since, which led to him not being retained on Sergio Garcia’s Fireballs team for 2025. As a result, Charcarra will instead plan on playing in Asia in 2025. But his sights are fully on potentially playing his way into a PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament by the end of 2025.

In a conversation with Tom Hobbs, better known as “Flushing It” on X, Chacarra openly spoke his mind about the reasons he plans on chasing his dream on the PGA Tour instead of trying to play his way back onto a LIV team, detailing that he believes LIV “don’t really care about the young guys”.

“When I joined LIV they promised OWGR and majors,” said Chacarra via Flushing It on X. “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.

“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:

Chacarra later compared himself to PGA Tour golfer Ludvig Aberg, who is a similar age and a past winner on the PGA Tour like Chacarra is on LIV, detailing the difference in experience when it comes to major tournaments that the two have.

“I’m a winner and I was never treated like a winner,” added Chacarra. “On the PGA Tour, Ludvig Aberg has one win and I have one win on LIV. He has one win on the European Tour and I have one win on the International Series on the Asian Tour. So we have similar careers, but he has way more experience and plays way more big tournaments, but we have the same wins.”

It’s quite clear that Chacarra feels like he never got as much notoriety for his victory on LIV, with the league instead focusing on additions like Jon Rahm and the rest of the former PGA Tour talent that they brought in.

What Chacarra is outlining here is undeniable. It’s pretty obvious to everyone who has watched LIV that their main focus is to highlight the select few already-established stars brought over from the PGA Tour.

Perhaps this is why ratings have struggled heavily for LIV. However, that may change, or at least stand to improve somewhat if they can land a TV deal with Fox Sports, which has been rumored for weeks now.
