The Putter Code: How Eugenio Chacarra Shakes Up the Tour with TaylorMade
A putter that's not off the shelf, but custom-made for a green monster: Eugenio Chacarra's recent run on the DP World Tour is closely linked to a very special TaylorMade story. The Spaniard recently claimed victory at the 2026 DP World India Championship, dominating with 21-under par and rocketing straight to the top of the Race to Dubai. It wasn't just any putter that enabled him this triumph.
🚨🏌️🏆 #READ — Race to Dubai leader Eugenio Chacarra went on a 6 month journey to create the current version of his putter & has been third in putting during a 4 event stretch, gaining an average of over 1.5 strokes per round on the greens. More details on the red hot putter ⤵️

With this power-play, Chacarra overtook luminaries like Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy at the top of the Race to Dubai. With a 618-point lead over Reed and a substantial 944 over McIlroy, he is now the man to beat. His PGA Tour status for 2027 is already secured, and his jump to World Ranking No. 39 opens the door to the top 50 – and with it, the chance for an invitation to the Masters.
Towards the Ryder Cup and Beyond
Chacarra's story is a true comeback. After three seasons with LIV Golf and his contract expiring, he has rebuilt his career via the DP World Tour. This week, he is already teeing it up at the Genesis Championship in South Korea, while Reed and McIlroy are taking a break. A golden opportunity to further extend his lead in the Race to Dubai, as only two tournaments remain after this event. A Race to Dubai title would also secure him spots in the first PGA Tour Signature Events of 2027, including Pebble Beach and Riviera. Furthermore, he is solidifying his position as a hot contender for Majors and a potential spot on the 2027 European Ryder Cup Team. What a development!
