In a bold move that underscores the ongoing shifts in professional golf, French golfer Victor Perez has officially announced his departure from the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf's Cleeks team. The announcement comes just days before the start of the PGA Tour's RSM Classic, where Perez was expected to compete.
Perez, who has struggled to maintain his PGA Tour card, expressed excitement about the new opportunities that await him in the LIV Golf League. The Cleeks team, which already boasts a strong lineup including Martin Kaymer and Richard Bland, is looking to bolster its roster as it prepares for the upcoming season.
This signing is particularly noteworthy as it reflects the increasing trend of players transitioning from traditional tours to the LIV Golf League, which has been making waves in the golf world since its inception. Perez's move is expected to further intensify the competition between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, raising questions about the future landscape of professional golf.
