00:00Live Golf Announces First Major Off-Season Signing

00:03Victor Perez, one of France's most decorated modern golfers, is charting a bold new course

00:09and Live Golf just landed its latest statement signing.

00:12In a move that signals both a personal pivot and a strategic team shake-up,

00:17Perez has joined Clique's GC, becoming the first French player to sign with the upstart league.

00:22This comes on the heels of a grinding PGA Tour season,

00:25in which Perez, despite 25 starts, found himself outside the FedEx Cup Falls safe zone at 108th.

00:33The writing was on the wall.

00:34Barring a miracle top-five finish at the RSM Classic, he'd lose his tour card.

00:39Then suddenly he withdrew from the event, and within 24 hours, the next chapter revealed itself.

00:45For Clique's GC, this marks a calculated replacement.

00:49Frederick Ketrup, a promising but underperforming recruit ahead of 2025,

00:52never found his footing in Live's pressure cooker.

00:56Perez brings not only experience, but also a pedigree and a winning track record in global events.

01:02With three DP World Tour titles, including high-profile wins like the 2019 Alfred Dunhill Lynx

01:09and 2023's Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship,

01:13he carries the type of resume that Live increasingly craves,

01:17international success, major tournament seasoning, and Olympic credentials.

01:21His selection to represent France at the 2024 Paris Olympics underscores the caliber of his game and his global appeal.

01:29Now ranked 120th in the world, Perez joins a Clique's squad that's taken on a distinct European flavor.

01:36Led by major champion Martin Kamer, seasoned veteran Richard Bland, and Poland's Adrian Maronk,

01:41The club is emerging as a strategic blend of experience and grit,

01:46a unit that could make serious waves when the 2026 season kicks off.

01:51Perez himself sounds energized by the leap, calling Live Golf's next great chapter.

01:56And with his debut set for Live Golf Riyadh in February,

02:00fans won't have to wait long to see what kind of impact the Frenchman can make.

02:04For Live, it's another smart acquisition.

02:06For Perez, it's a lifeline, and perhaps a launching pad.
