The Argentine was found guilty in 2021 of numerous charges that included assault, theft and illegal intimidation against former girlfriends.
He was released in August 2023 after serving 30 months in South American prisons.
All Masters champions receive lifetime exemptions to play in the tournament but Cabrera, who also won the 2007 US Open, was unable to take up his playing privilege in 2024 because of visa issues.
Masters chairman Fred Ridley, speaking before the 2024 tournament, called Cabrera “one of our great champions”, adding: “He has been unable to participate in the Masters the last couple of years due to legal issues.
“We certainly wish him the best of luck with that, and we’ll definitely welcome him back if he’s able to straighten out those legal issues.”
Cabrera, according to a report in Sports Illustrated,, external did not touch a golf club for three years but on his release from prison was taken a set by his long-time coach, mentor and friend Charlie Epps.
