News Summary
Victor Perez, a French professional golfer, has transitioned from the PGA Tour to the LIV Golf series. While balancing off-season training and family life, he reflects on his decision to pursue a new path in his golf career. He aims for consistency in performance amidst changes in the competitive landscape, while staying ambitious for future championships.
Victor Perez’s Exciting Transition to LIV Golf
Big changes are brewing in the world of golf! French professional golfer Victor Perez has recently made the switch from the PGA Tour to the LIV Golf series. While working out in his home gym, where his darling 10-month-old daughter was snoozing in the next room, Perez shared his thoughts on this monumental shift in his career. He jokingly mentioned being “kicked out of my own house” as he tackles his off-season training.
An Adventure Ahead
Currently, Perez is enjoying his time in Edinburgh, having resigned from his PGA Tour membership. He plans to have a family celebration in London for a few days before heading back to the Bahamas for what sounds like an early holiday celebration—now that’s a way to kick off the season!
Focus on Consistency
A Shift in Perspective
Perez categorized his time on the PGA Tour as subpar, where the lack of significant finishes hindered his ability to plan effectively. The PGA has a notorious reputation for being ‘top-heavy,’ meaning opportunities for players ranked lower can be severely limited. Just when it seemed like his career was on the upswing with a career-high 28 events in one year, it dropped to just 25 the next, resulting in missed opportunities including major tournaments.

Balancing Memberships
Perez is intent on maintaining his DP World Tour membership as well but is also cautious about potential fines that could arise from participating in LIV events without permission—definitely something to keep in mind! He highlights that the earning potential in LIV is quite appealing, especially with the more lucrative tournament purses compared to the DP World Tour.
