And on the other hand, you know, I can tell you that the most important thing I feel now is the second chance, the opportunity to get back to the right track.”

Cabrera’s legal problems began in 2016 when his ex-wife, Silva Rivadero, claimed he physically attacked him and made oral threats. Two of Cabrera’s ex-girlfriends also made charges of domestic violence and physical and verbal abuse. In 2020, immediately before a court mandated appearance in Argentina, Cabrera flew to Acron, Ohio, to play at a PGA Tour Champions event. He did not inform local authorities, which caused a red announcement from Interpol. In January 2021, Cabrera was arrested by Brazilian officials in Rio de Janeiro.
