Pat Perez Net Worth

What is Pat Perez's Net Worth?

Pat Perez is an American professional golfer who has a net worth of $18 million.

Pat Perez is best known for his long PGA Tour career, his fiery personality, and his later move to LIV Golf. Over more than two decades as a professional, Perez became one of golf's most recognizable journeyman stars, winning three times on the PGA Tour and earning more than $26 million in official tournament prize money. His biggest wins came at the 2009 Bob Hope Classic, the 2016 OHL Classic at Mayakoba, and the 2017 CIMB Classic.

Perez built his reputation as a talented, blunt, and sometimes polarizing player whose game could run very hot when healthy. His career was interrupted by injuries, most notably shoulder surgery that forced him to miss much of the 2015-16 season, but he returned with one of the best stretches of his career, winning twice in less than a year and rising into the top 20 in the world rankings. In 2022, Perez joined LIV Golf, reportedly receiving an eight-figure deal and becoming part of Dustin Johnson's 4Aces GC team. After his LIV playing stint ended, Perez moved into broadcasting and began positioning himself for possible opportunities on PGA Tour Champions.

Early Life

Patrick Anthony Perez was born on March 1, 1976, in Phoenix, Arizona. He is of Mexican-American heritage and grew up in a golf-rich environment in the Southwest. Perez developed a powerful, aggressive game at a young age and later played college golf at Arizona State University, one of the country's strongest golf programs.

He turned professional in 1997 and spent the early part of his career working through the developmental ranks. In 2000, he won the Buy.com Ozarks Open, helping establish himself as a future PGA Tour player. He earned his PGA Tour card soon after and became a regular presence on Tour during the 2000s.

PGA Tour Career

Perez's first PGA Tour victory came at the 2009 Bob Hope Classic. He opened the tournament with two extremely low rounds and eventually finished at 33-under par, winning by three strokes over John Merrick. The victory was a breakthrough after years of near-misses and solid finishes.

After several injury-affected seasons, Perez had a major comeback in 2016. Coming off shoulder surgery and playing on a medical extension, he won the OHL Classic at Mayakoba in Mexico. The win revived his career and proved he could still contend at a high level. Less than a year later, he won the CIMB Classic in Malaysia by four strokes, giving him his third PGA Tour victory.

Perez also had respectable showings in major championships. His best major finish came at the 2005 PGA Championship, where he tied for sixth. He also tied for 18th at the 2017 Masters and tied for 17th at the 2018 Open Championship.

LIV Golf

In 2022, Perez left the PGA Tour structure and joined LIV Golf, the Saudi-backed league that offered large guaranteed contracts and no-cut events. Perez was not one of the league's biggest stars, but he was a valuable personality and became part of Dustin Johnson's 4Aces GC team. The 4Aces won the inaugural LIV team championship in 2022, giving Perez a major payday beyond his individual results.

Perez remained with 4Aces for the 2023 and 2024 seasons. After finishing 48th in the 2024 LIV standings, he was not retained as a player and was replaced on the team roster. He later transitioned into an on-course broadcasting role for LIV. In January 2026, the PGA Tour reinstated Perez as a member, though reports said he was not immediately eligible to play in PGA Tour-affiliated events. The timing was important because Perez turned 50 in March 2026, making him old enough for PGA Tour Champions competition.

Career Earnings

Pat Perez earned more than $26 million in official PGA Tour prize money during his career. That figure does not include endorsement income, appearance fees, bonuses, or LIV Golf compensation.

Perez also reportedly received around $10 million to join LIV Golf in 2022. On top of that, he earned additional LIV prize money and team winnings as part of 4Aces GC. His total career golf income from official PGA Tour earnings, LIV money, bonuses, sponsorships, and related opportunities is likely well above $40 million before taxes, agent fees, caddie payments, travel costs, and other expenses.

Ashley Perez and Phil Mickelson Controversy

Perez married Ashley Perez in 2015. The couple had two children together before Ashley filed for divorce in 2023, after nearly a decade of marriage.

In 2026, Ashley became part of a major controversy involving Phil Mickelson. In an article by golf writer Alan Shipnuck for Skratch, Ashley alleged that Mickelson behaved inappropriately toward her during the 2015 Barclays tournament week in New Jersey. According to Ashley, Mickelson had been texting her under the guise of friendship before the incident. She alleged that, while she and Pat were staying near Mickelson at Liberty National, Mickelson showed her a nude photo of himself and made an unwanted sexual proposition while Pat was away from the table.

The story also provided context for comments Pat made publicly in 2022, when he said Mickelson had "crossed the line" with him in a way he considered unforgivable. According to the Skratch report, Mickelson later apologized to Pat and Ashley, though he did not directly admit the details of Ashley's allegation. Mickelson's representative responded that some allegations were false and that others revisited mistakes he had already acknowledged privately or publicly.

The controversy added a personal dimension to the long-running tension between Perez and Mickelson, two San Diego-area golfers who had known each other for many years.

Scottsdale Mansion

Pat Perez and his ex-wife Ashley Perez owned a dramatic custom mansion in Scottsdale, Arizona, that became a reflection of Perez's larger-than-life personality. The home, located at 10324 E. Calle De Las Brisas in the gated Canyon Heights community, sits on roughly 4.6 acres with sweeping views of Pinnacle Peak and the surrounding valley. Perez and Ashley bought the property in 2017 and later spent several years transforming it into a modern, high-end entertainment compound.

The 9,712-square-foot estate features four bedrooms, five full bathrooms, one half-bathroom, black marble flooring, a backlit staircase, custom hand-painted walls, a formal dining room with wine displays, and a sleek black granite kitchen with backlit onyx countertops and a teppanyaki grill. The primary suite includes a fireplace, spa-style bathroom, and two walk-in closets.

The home also includes a detached guesthouse, movie theater, game room, elevator, home office, multiple fireplaces, and garage space for several vehicles. Outside, the property has a resort-style pool and spa, sport court, outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven, sunken conversation pit, Jacuzzi, and walking paths.

One of the home's most talked-about features is a custom sneaker room designed to house Perez's massive Nike Air Jordan collection, which reportedly included around 1,000 pairs at one point. The mansion was listed in 2025 for $12.75 million, later reduced to $10.9 million, and by June 2026 remained for sale with an asking price of $8.9 million.
