Pat Perez said he felt like he won the lottery when he talked about ditching the PGA Tour in favor of the LIV Golf Invitational Series.
During a very tense press conference, Perez sat alongside Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed where they absolutely ripped the PGA Tour.
“Listen to the players for once,” Reed responded when asked if the PGA Tour could have done anything to avoid the greatest existential threat they have ever faced.
Then Perez added:
“(The PGA Tour) could have at least answered the call, I think, of the LIV group. I’m thinking of at least having a meeting, seeing what it’s all about. Monahan (PGA Tour commissioner) just ruled him out from the start. I didn’t want to listen, I didn’t want to be in a meeting, I didn’t want to listen to someone who might have been interested, who might have been a little different, I think. I think this is the end. But – and he doesn’t listen to the players. Somehow the TOUR they keep talking about, oh, yeah, we work for you, we work for the players, we work for the players. It’s the contrary. It looks like we work for them. We have no say in anything. »
Well, it’s fair to say that Perez absolutely hasn’t lost any love.
When asked if he had any issues regarding the source of the money for the LIV Golf Invitational Serieshis one-word response summed up the situation.
“No.”
Then he added: “I understand the topics you’re trying to address, and these are horrible events, but I’m here to play golf. It’s my business. I have the opportunity to play golf, and that’s it.
All right, then Pat.
Perez also showed that he had absolutely no problems with his decision to join LIV Golf when he showed up to a party later that evening wearing a shirt that had dollar bills printed on it:

If that doesn’t make you sing a song about money, I don’t know what will.
Me? I think that one in WWE.
“Here’s the money! Here’s the money…money money money money!”
Whether you agree or disagree with the choice of Perez and the other LIV players is up to you.
But can we all agree on one thing?
This shirt is horrible.
I mean, really ugly.
