2009 Masters champion Angel Cabrera was welcomed back to Augusta National by Chairman Fred Ridley in January, but visa issues will keep the pro from returning next month.
Three-time PGA Tour winner and one-time Masters champion Angel Cabrera will not compete at Augusta National next month after being denied a visa to the U.S., according to multiple reports. Cabrera, who was only recently cleared to participate in Tour-sanctioned events after being released on parole in August for gender violence, had his American visa temporarily declined.
More information has been requested and will be provided to the embassy shortly. Final decision on the visa will take no less than 8 to 10 weeks. He will not be at The Masters,' Tagle said. Cabrera was sentenced in July 2021 to two years in prison in Argentina for threats and harassment of his ex-partner, a case that was joined by another of his ex’s. He was released in August.
