00:00New LiveGolf signing reveals the one reason he quit PGA Tour.

00:04Victor Perez didn't slip away quietly. He made a calculated exit.

00:09In a turbulent year for professional golf, his decision to leave the PGA Tour for LiveGolf wasn't a gamble,

00:15but a calculated step back from a system that he said kept shifting the rules.

00:20His move marked not just a new schedule but a public reckoning with a fractured golf landscape

00:25and the fading certainty of traditional tour structures.

00:28Barely two weeks into his new chapter, Victor Perez sits in his Edinburgh home gym

00:33stealing a break between family duties and pre-season training.

00:37He jokes about being exiled from the main living space with his 10-month-old daughter sleeping nearby,

00:43but the truth is heavier. Months of hard decisions, constant travel, and reshuffled or denied opportunities.

00:50He didn't underperform. He played 25 events in 2025, chasing status on both tours.

00:56But the landscape shifted. Cut-offs dropped from the top 125 to 100, signature events became gated,

01:04and planned starts turned into last-minute scrambles.

01:07The instability strained his young family, and Perez, usually calm and methodical, felt the system squeezing him out.

01:14When talks began with Clique's golf club, Perez wasn't drawn by glamour but by structure.

01:19Familiar teammates, a stable schedule, and a clear purpose.

01:23The PGA Tour, amid CEO turnover and policy shifts, couldn't offer.

01:28He knows Live Golf's format leaves no room to hide, with all four scores counting each week,

01:33but his compact, reliable game is built for consistency.

01:37One-week link can sink a team, and he's determined it won't be him.

01:40Perez is clear-eyed about the move. Live's competition is deeper than the DP World Tour,

01:46but it offers what others couldn't. A roadmap.

01:49Fourteen events, no cuts, high stakes, and a team relying on his steadiness.

01:54It's a new model, and he's all in.

01:56Loyalty is complicated in a sport built on tradition,

01:59but Perez, who rose from the Alps Tour, isn't chasing sentiment.

02:03He wants relevance, routine, and results.

02:06In a sport still finding its balance, that might be the boldest choice of all.
