New LIV Golf signing Victor Perez opens up on why he left the PGA Tour

While he may not be the megastar signing some fans expected, many see him as a strong addition to LIV's lineup.

Speaking to Today's Golfer, Perez has now shared the real reason behind his decision to leave the PGA Tour.

Perez didn't hold back when discussing the challenges he faced on the PGA Tour, citing both competitive and structural issues that influenced his decision.

"I wouldn't say I've had the best two seasons in America," the Frenchman said.

"I played decent, but I didn't have high enough finishes to be in a position to contend. And I just felt the way the PGA Tour was ranking events was putting me at a huge disadvantage.

"Not being in the Signature Events was a big sticking point my end. I could have played better, obviously, but at the same time, I felt like it was really 'top heavy'. And once you start falling outside the top 10, you're not really capitalizing on the weeks, which is a little bit of what happened to me.

"On a personal note, it was quite difficult to get to the PGA Tour in 2024 and [see] the rules changing right away.

"It started with the elevated events, which I wasn't in, and then this year they were like, 'Oh, we're only going to have 100 cards, instead of 125.' And it seems like another change is coming soon, or maybe the following season. So I struggled with that instability. They changed CEOs, and there are plenty of things that have happened that have made it quite difficult to really believe in the product."
