Overview
- Perez withdrew from this week’s RSM Classic after the announcement, with Tommy Gainey added to the field in his place.
- He replaces Frederik Kjettrup on Cleeks GC and joins Martin Kaymer, Richard Bland and Adrian Meronk on a team that finished 12th of 13 in 2025.
- Under current PGA Tour restrictions, his switch makes him ineligible for PGA Tour events.
- The 33-year-old cited LIV’s “innovation and energy” and is set to debut at LIV Golf Riyadh in February.
- With LIV events not receiving OWGR points, his world ranking is likely to decline, mirroring drops seen by other players who moved to the league.
