Pat Perez has been handed a new role for the upcoming LIV Golf season, after the 44-year-old was dropped by Dustin Johnson and the 4Aces earlier in the off-season

The league announced on Monday 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, Fox Sports.

Pat Perez is joining the LIV Golf broadcast team as an on-course analyst this season. Perez, 48, previously competed in the league as a member of captain Dustin Johnson 's 4Aces GC. Perez finished 48th in the LIV individual standings in 2024 and was replaced by Thomas Pieters for the upcoming season. Perez's contract with 4Aces expired on Jan. 1.

Pat Perez is trading his clubs for a microphone. Following three seasons as a member of LIV Golf’s 4Aces, the 48-year-old is joining the circuit’s broadcast team as an on-course analyst. Perez will also do pre-and-post-round coverage.

When he first volunteered for the PGA Tour event at Torrey Pines four decades ago, Tony Perez was sent out to the South Course’s ninth hole. “I started measuring the distances of the drives,” Perez said.

Pat Perez joined LIV Golf right after it launched in 2022 but has not found much success on the Saudi-backed circuit. He finished the 2024 season ranked 48th in the individual standings, barely out of the relegation zone, but now he will not have to worry about maintaining his position for 2025.

Pat Perez has been an ever-present on the 4Aces following the launch of LIV Golf in 2022, but the former PGA Tour player has been replaced by captain Greg Norman
