Angel Cabrera has made the controversial decision to return to Augusta, 16 years after winning the tournament – and after spending more than two years in prison

Angel Cabrera, the former Masters winner who was jailed in 2021 following accusations of domestic violence, will be returning to Augusta this year – and fellow golfer Adam Scott has shared his thoughts on the controversial move.

Cabrera, who won the green jacket in 2009, was sentenced to 30 months in prison for threats and harassment against two women. The 55-year-old will be competing in Augusta this week following his win at the James Hardie Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational – his first in more than 10 years.

At first there was uncertainty over whether Cabrera would be able to return as he awaited his visa. Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley previously said: “Angel certainly is one of our great champions. As we all know, he has been unable to participate in the Masters the last couple of years due to legal issues.

“Presently we have been in constant contact with Angel’s representatives.”
