The Story in 60 Seconds

Golf argues that Eugenio Chacarra emerged as perhaps the biggest winner of professional golf's civil war between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. After earning $16 million during 34 starts on LIV Golf, the 26-year-old Spaniard departed the league, rebuilt his career on the DP World Tour, and took over the top spot in the Race to Dubai standings by winning the DP World India Championship.

Chacarra shot rounds of 67-67-63-70 at Delhi GC to beat Daniel Hillier by two strokes and claim his third victory of the season. The win placed him ahead of Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy in the standings, all but securing his PGA Tour status for 2027 and putting him on European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald's radar.
