Pat Perez is facing the prospect of being relegated from the Saudi-backed venture
As one of the first big names to switch allegiance from the PGA Tour in June 2022, the 48-year-old is teetering dangerously close to the 'Drop Zone' in the 2024 standings which could lead to his relegation from the tour next season. Currently sitting at 47th in the individual rankings, with only five events of the LIV season remaining, Perez's golfing future hangs in the balance.
Post-victory, he didn't hold back on lambasting Tiger Woods after the latter questioned the ambition of LIV superstars happy to pocket large sums irrespective of performance. Dismissively addressing Woods' comments on the Son of a Butch podcast, Perez stated: "That's the stupidest s*** I have ever heard of in my life," and "That's one of the stupidest things I think he has said.
Perez - a seasoned player and notable supporter of LIV Golf, now - didn't hold back when it came time to ink his deal with LIV, having already claimed victory three times on the PGA Tour. Although he initially promised to avoid any conflicts with past affiliations, he's since retracted those claims.
