Overview
- Perez becomes the first French player to sign with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf League.
- Cleeks GC confirmed Perez as its fourth member for 2026, replacing relegated Frederik Kjettrup alongside Martin Kaymer, Richard Bland and Adrian Meronk.
- Perez withdrew from this week’s RSM Classic and was listed as a WD by PGA TOUR Communications, with Tommy Gainey added to the field.
- He leaves after a difficult PGA season with one top-10 in 25 starts, sitting 108th in the FedExCup Fall and needing a top-five at Sea Island to retain full status.
- Under current policies he is ineligible for PGA Tour events, and with LIV still without guaranteed OWGR points pending review, his ranking outlook is unclear.
