You win some, you lose some. In the PGA Tour’s case, they thought they were getting Laurie Canter back in their roster this year. However, after earning his PGA Tour card through the DP World Tour, he has chosen to switch back to LIV Golf again. Instead, the Tour might get to welcome back a veteran into its ranks.

As reported by Josh Carpenter from Sports Business Journal, Pat Perez has confirmed that he is leaving LIV Golf. Instead, the 49-year-old, who will turn 50 in March 2026, has committed himself to playing on the Champions Tour.

The former 4Aces GC player was associated with LIV Golf as an announcer. He last worked in the role till August 2025. However, now he has publicly made the statement that he doesn’t want to retain his position with the PIF-funded league and instead wants to try his luck with the Seniors Tour.

He didn’t participate in a LIV Golf event as a player. But the PGA Tour might still discipline him for associating himself with the Saudi-based league. Although it’s unclear what penalties or suspension he might face for his actions.

However, after publicly confirming his next career move, one thing is clear: LIV Golf will have nothing to do with Pat Perez. They would have essentially cut ties with their former player-turned-announcer.

After Pat Perez does make his way back, he won’t be the first one to return to the PGA Tour. There are a few more stars who are eyeing a comeback.

LIV Golf stars who might follow Pat Perez back to the PGA Tour

A number of former and current LIV Golf stars are looking to find a path for a PGA Tour return. One of them is Eugenio Chacarra. The Spanish pro who used to represent Fireballs GC has since left the league.

This came as a huge surprise, as he was a former winner and a consistent performer for the team. Yet, Sergio Garcia & Co. decided not to renew his contract in 2024. Since then, he has been motivated to find his way back to the PGA Tour through the DP World Tour.

Another pro who might be looking to return to his former employer is Brooks Koepka. There have been rumors flying around that the 5-time major winner will not be looking to renew his LIV Golf contract once it expires in 2026. Scott O’Neil’s evasive statement regarding Koepka further confirmed that he may not be a part of LIV Golf’s plans for the future. It will be interesting to see what happens when his contract finally expires at the end of next season.
