After moving to LIV Golf, Perez joined the team 4 Aces GC. The team was already considered a strong team, comprising great golfers such as Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, Taylor Gooch, and Perez himself. Aces began their domination in the Tour from the second LIV Golf event in Portland.
They continued finishing at the top in the following 3 events. But they won the biggest event of all in Miami, where the team bagged home $16 million. Following their big win, Perez recently revealed how he received a heartwarming message from the PGA Tour loyalist Justin Thomas.

Perez recently paid a visit to the podcast Son of a Butch with Claude Harmon.

Many fans appreciated Thomas’ gesture towards Perez since JT has been against the idea of the Saudi-backed Tour. Nonetheless, the Arizonan golfer has been loving life on his new Tour. Moreover, despite competing at lesser events at LIV Golf, he has still earned more than his PGA Tour career earnings of the past two seasons.
It’s great to see a truce among the players of both Tours. The battle for the throne for the most relevant Tour has ruined the friendships of many golfers, or at least that’s what the myth has been. However, some stars have maintained their friendship and didn’t let the choice of their Tour ruin it. Pat Perez and Justin Thomas are one such examples.
What are your thoughts on JT’s message to Pat Perez? Let us know in the comments section below.
