Pat Perez has remarkably earned more in three LIV Golf events than in 19 PGA Tour starts - despite the American finishing no higher than 15th.
The lucrative LIV Golf series is funded by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund and it has divided golf, leaving the PGA and DP World Tours fractured after the new series poached some of the sports biggest names. Several of the world’s most prominent players have decided to switch to LIV Golf, including the likes of Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, and Dustin Johnson.
After the inaugural event at Centurion Golf Club in June, Perez was one of a number of PGA Tour players who wanted to make the switch. He unashamedly revealed his intentions ahead of the Portland Invitational, admitting he chose LIV over the PGA Tour was akin to ‘winning the lottery’.
