Pat Perez’s run with the 4Aces is coming to an end, but a new gig within LIV Golf is just beginning.
The league announced overnight that the longtime tour pro is trading in his clubs for a microphone. Perez will now be part of LIV’s broadcasts as an on-course analyst.
The career transition comes just as LIV is transitioning from the CW to its new broadcast partner in America, Fox Sports.
“I’m full-steam on this thing,” Perez said in a statement released by LIV. “I’m really excited to do it. It’s a perfect mid-life restart for me.”

Perez is a three-time PGA Tour winner, who has played with the 4Aces since LIV’s inception in 2022. He was part of the squad that won the team championship in LIV’s inaugural season.
The 48-year-old finished 48th in the 2024 LIV individual standings. And his spot on the 4Aces seemed all but gone when Dustin Johnson’s team acquired Thomas Pieters in December. Perez’s player contract ran out at the start of 2025.
Despite the move to Fox Sports, LIV’s broadcast team – led by play-by-play announcer Arlo White and analysts David Feherty and Jerry Foltz – is otherwise staying the same.
