Angel Cabrera, a 55-year-old Argentinian golfer filled the front pages of golf magazines because of his specific case, after spending 30 months in prison for domestic assault and intimidation. The experienced golfer was released in August 2023, but although he was released, Cabrera could not play at the Masters.
Nevertheless, an experienced face of the golf scene will perform this year.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, the Argentine looked back on his case, saying that he is deeply sorry for everything. Angel believes that he made a huge mistake, but he wants to take an advantage of the second chance in life.
Right now, Im fine, Cabrera told the Daily Mail.
But I regret everything that I have done wrongly in my past. I am also frustrated that I dumped very, very important years of my life. I made mistakes.
It is one of the worst things that can happen to a human being, not being able to have freedom. The lack of freedom is something really difficult, really hard. And on the other hand, you know, I can tell you that the most important thing I feel right now is the second chance, the opportunity to get back on the right track.
