Pat Perez Is Done Playing LIV Golf
Pat Perez's run with the 4Aces is coming to an end, but a new gig within LIV Golf is just beginning. The league announced on Monday that the longtime tour pro is trading in his clubs for a microphone.
Pat Perez joined LIV Golf right after it launched in 2022 but has not found much success on the Saudi-backed circuit. He finished the 2024 season ranked 48th in the individual standings, barely out of the relegation zone, but now he will not have to worry about maintaining his position for 2025.
When he first volunteered for the PGA Tour event at Torrey Pines four decades ago, Tony Perez was sent out to the South Course’s ninth hole. “I started measuring the distances of the drives,” Perez said.
Pat Perez is trading his clubs for a microphone. Following three seasons as a member of LIV Golf’s 4Aces, the 48-year-old is joining the circuit’s broadcast team as an on-course analyst. Perez will also do pre-and-post-round coverage.
