The Spaniard remains the only player to win his first professional victory at an LIV golf event.<\/p>\n<p>However, the 26-year-old was not offered a new contract by the Fireballs and left the league after the 2024 season.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, Chakara had to rely on invitations from sponsors to participate in DP World Tour events. However, with three wins to date since the start of the 2025 season, he appears destined to earn a PGA Tour card in 2027.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"content-figure\">\n<div class=\"content-image\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"lightbox-btn\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"lightbox-expand\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Image Lightbox\" class=\"lightbox-overlay\" aria-modal=\"true\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"fig-caption\">\n<p>Photo by: Stuart Franklin\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He is currently third in the Race to Dubai behind Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy.<\/p>\n<p>advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The step from the European circuit to the PGA Tour is not easy.
