Amateur career
[edit | edit source]Chacarra attended Oklahoma State University, where he studied Sports Management, Finance and Psychology.[3] He was a first team All-American and reached a high of number two in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, before turning professional and joining LIV Golf in June 2022,[4][5] reportedly on a three-year contract.[6] Two months before then, he had announced that he would be returning for a fifth year at Oklahoma State, despite qualifying for the Korn Ferry Tour through the PGA Tour University rankings.[7]
Professional career
