Angel Cabrera Returns to Masters After Prison

Angel Cabrera, a former Masters champion, will return to the Augusta National Golf Club to compete in the 2025 Masters Tournament after serving a 30-month prison sentence for domestic abuse. Cabrera, who won the Masters in 2009 and became the first South American to do so, has been cleared to participate in PGA Tour-sanctioned events after his release in August 2023. His comeback marks his first appearance at the Masters since 2019, following a period during which his US visa was temporarily declined. Cabrera has expressed remorse for his past actions and seeks redemption on the golf course. Despite his legal troubles, Cabrera remains a respected figure in golf, with past successes including a 2007 US Open win and a near victory at the 2013 Masters. The upcoming tournament will see him join other past champions and participate in the traditional Champions Dinner.
