Pat Perez’s wife goes on wild rant after husband joins LIV Golf
Bryson DeChambeau’s defection to the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Series earlier this week completed a remarkable u-turn after the 28-year-old had publicly stated he was fully committed to the PGA Tour on multiple occasions over the past few months.
Per multiple reports, Bryson is not the only player to have had a change of heart though, with Pat Perez one of the latest names to have signed up with the breakaway tour.

Earlier this year, Perez told media that he would follow Tiger Woods’ lead and not Phil Mickelson or Bryson DeChambeau when it came to the Saudi-backed Series. However, Perez has now decided to ignore Woods’ lead, with the NY Post claiming that the 46-year-old has received $10 million for signing with LIV Golf.
On Friday night, Perez’s wife delivered an epic rant on her Instagram Live where she took aim at “haters,” revealing that she had already blocked hundreds and declared that the new Tour is going to be “iconic.”
Pat Perez’s wife weighed in on his decision to leave for the LIV Tour on IG.
Golf is honestly a WWE storyline at this point.

“Hello my Instagram family. I feel so dumb having to go on here and having to do this video for you guys. But I just wanted to throw something out into the universe. My Instagram platform is not me, myself promoting my body in a sexual way for you guys to go home and enjoy yourself with.
“Nor is it promoting useless s**t I don’t use that I am trying to sell and promote to you. My Instagram is solely based only my family.
“So if anybody feels the need to say anything, and I mean anything negative about Pat going to the LIV Tour, you will be blocked. Just like 200, maybe even 300 people are already. And you’ll never be back in. Anyways that being said, I love you all, cherish you all ’till you say some bull**t that I don’t like. I don’t want it, and I don’t need it, I will not accept it, I will not allow it in my world ever.
“So, if you feel the need to say something go ahead and just f—king delete me from your page. I won’t miss you. This new tour is going to be ICONIC!”
In a later post, Perez’s wife revealed that Michael Jordan had called her husband to assure the golfer that Jordan Brand would remain his sponsor.

- Gas: $165
- Entry Fee: $130
- Lounge Pass for caddie: $50
- Gym: $0
- Yardage book: $0
- Total expenses: $3672
Made cut, finished 54th, total earned: $1244 Factor in 35% tax on earnings. To break even, needed to finish 24th. To make money, 21st. Guess we have our goals laid out for next event!”
When factoring in Gregg’s free housing, free caddie and free rental car, it’s evident that most LET players would have to finish well inside of the top-20 to make any money.
With ridiculous amounts of money being thrown around in professional golf these days, it’s important to remember the other side of the coin as well. There are countless professionals out there who struggle to get by on their golf salary.

54-hole golf tour deemed eligible for OWGR points…but it’s not LIV
After a seventeen-month application process, a 54-hole golf tour was deemed eligible for OWGR points.
Unfortunately, for LIV Golf and their fans, it was the Clutch Pro Tour.
After the decision, which is effective immediately, OWGR chairman Peter Dawson issued a statement.
“This is a significant milestone for golf, and OWGR is deeply encouraged by the achievement and the continued efforts in developing the sport of golf in the United Kingdom.”
“We look forward to watching the progress of the Clutch Pro Tour as it continues to play a key role in the development of players from the region,” Dawson added.

Charlie Woods attempting to qualify for spot at 2024 U.S. Open
As first reported by Bob Harig of Sports Illustrated, Charlie Woods will be attempting to qualify for this year’s U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2.
The first stage of qualifying for this year’s tournament will be an 18-hole local event on Thursday, April 25th, in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
There will be 84 players in the field, five of which will reach the 36-hole qualifier that will take place in June.
Earlier this season, Charlie attempted to qualify for the Cognizant Classic, and struggled, shooting an 86.
If the younger Woods is able to qualify, he will tee it up in the same field as his father in a few months at one of the more historic U.S. Open venues.
