PAT PEREZ

Pat Perez, fresh off a LIV Golf team title, blasted Tiger Woods' remarks about players leaving the PGA Tour for the Saudi-backed league.

Johnson (70), Reed (70), Talor Gooch (71) and Pat Perez (70) shot a combined 7 under 281 on the par-72 Sunday — and split $16 million. Johnson was on the par-4 18th green in two when Reed finished, while Smith — the other player in Johnson's twosome — was needing a miracle that didn't arrive. Including his $18 million for winning the season-long individual title, Johnson finished with $35,637,767 in earnings. For now, LIV players don’t get points toward their Official World Golf Ranking. Perez made just over $8 million in seven LIV events, which is more than he had in his last five years on the PGA Tour combined.
