LIV rebel golfer quits lawsuit against PGA Tour admitting “I didn’t think it through”

One of the original 11 LIV players to file a lawsuit against the PGA has now decided to drop out, according to Sports Illustrated. Pat Perez, a three-time winner on the PGA Tour, opted for a lucrative LIV deal back in June.

According to sources the 46-year-old penned a four-year deal with approximately $10million (£8.45m) guaranteed. He expressed his desire to join the lawsuit in support of his colleagues who joined Greg Norman and co, but now thinks it was ill-advised. “I didn’t really think it through,’’ Perez told SI. “I did it to back our guys.

“I have no ill feelings toward the PGA Tour or any of the players. I’m a LIV guy 100 percent. I’m going to play for them. But I don’t feel any need to go after the PGA Tour. They gave me a wonderful opportunity for 21 years. I’ve got nothing against them, no hard feelings toward anybody. I earned everything I got out there, don’t get me wrong.
