LIV Golf rebel Pat Perez has hit out at his critics after winning a mammoth £7million in prize money despite not breaking the top 10 in any of the season's seven individual events. Perez was spraying champagne for a fifth time last Sunday after his 4 Aces team became LIV's maiden team champions.
The victory was no doubt a well-earned one for Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, Talor Gooch and Perez, with the all-American setup having won four out of seven team events in the regular season. The 4 Aces have been led by captain Johnson, who was also crowned individual champion after an impressive first campaign on the Saudi-backed series.
Amid the team's success though, many have questioned Perez's contribution with the 46-year-old failing to secure a top-10 finish throughout the season, boding an average finish of 28th out of a 48-man field.
