He frames the move as a return to Chile to prioritize family over constant travel.

Overview

  • Pereira announced his decision on Monday in a letter shared by his former LIV team Torque GC and circulated on social media, saying he is well.
  • He finished 51st in the 2025 LIV standings to land in the drop zone and chose not to enter next month’s Promotions event in Florida to regain status.
  • His statement emphasized that the decision was personal rather than injury-related and that he feels proud of his career.
  • Career highlights cited include three Korn Ferry Tour wins, a tie for third at the Tokyo Olympics, and a near-win at the 2022 PGA Championship.
