This is the period in which the leaders of LIV Golf are most engaged and now aim to attract important names from the golf scene. Although in the last year they tried to base their project on young players, the LIV Golf League decided to hire a well-known name in the golf scene, Viktor Perez.
As a longtime member of the PGA Tour, the 33-year-old Frenchman decided to join the Saudi-backed tour, believing he had made the right move. In an interview with the media, Perez pointed out that it is a big deal to join LIV Golf, but also the Cleeks GC, for which he will play from next season.
Judging by his statements, the main reason for joining this project is the innovation and energy that the leaders of LIV and the project in general possess.

"Joining Cleeks Golf Club for the 2026 season feels like joining golf's next great chapter, as this club continues to push boundaries, perform at the highest level, and bring fresh energy and vision to the game," Perez said.
"The sport's growth has been incredible, and LIV Golf's innovation and energy are driving it forward. I'm excited to be part of that momentum and can't wait to get started in Riyadh."
Perez is aware that an interesting chapter in his career awaits him, and whether he can really help this team in the long run remains to be seen.
Kaymer reacts
Cleeks GC captain, Martin Kaymer, openly said that he is delighted that Viktor has become a part of their team, with a clear ambition in the coming season and the desire for their team to be at the top of the rankings.

Can Perez do great things with this team and did he make the right choice for the best future of his career? In any case, as expected, his move did not meet with positive reactions from the public, who believe that the Frenchman was primarily motivated by money, and not by the perspective and future of this project.
