New LiveGolf signing reveals the one reason he quit PGA Tour.
00:04
Victor Perez didn't slip away quietly. He made a calculated exit.
00:09
In a turbulent year for professional golf, his decision to leave the PGA Tour for LiveGolf wasn't a gamble,
00:15
but a calculated step back from a system that he said kept shifting the rules.
00:20
His move marked not just a new schedule but a public reckoning with a fractured golf landscape
00:25
and the fading certainty of traditional tour structures.
00:28
Barely two weeks into his new chapter, Victor Perez sits in his Edinburgh home gym
00:33
stealing a break between family duties and pre-season training.
00:37
He jokes about being exiled from the main living space with his 10-month-old daughter sleeping nearby,
00:43
but the truth is heavier. Months of hard decisions, constant travel, and reshuffled or denied opportunities.
00:50
He didn't underperform. He played 25 events in 2025, chasing status on both tours.
00:56
But the landscape shifted. Cut-offs dropped from the top 125 to 100, signature events became gated,
01:04
and planned starts turned into last-minute scrambles.
01:07
The instability strained his young family, and Perez, usually calm and methodical, felt the system squeezing him out.
01:14
When talks began with Clique's golf club, Perez wasn't drawn by glamour but by structure.
01:19
Familiar teammates, a stable schedule, and a clear purpose.
01:23
The PGA Tour, amid CEO turnover and policy shifts, couldn't offer.
01:28
He knows Live Golf's format leaves no room to hide, with all four scores counting each week,
01:33
but his compact, reliable game is built for consistency.
01:37
One-week link can sink a team, and he's determined it won't be him.
01:40
Perez is clear-eyed about the move. Live's competition is deeper than the DP World Tour,
01:46
but it offers what others couldn't. A roadmap.
01:49
Fourteen events, no cuts, high stakes, and a team relying on his steadiness.
01:54
It's a new model, and he's all in.
01:56
Loyalty is complicated in a sport built on tradition,
01:59
but Perez, who rose from the Alps Tour, isn't chasing sentiment.
02:03
He wants relevance, routine, and results.
02:06
In a sport still finding its balance, that might be the boldest choice of all.
