BIO
Victor Perez claimed his maiden European Tour title at the 2019 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. This win took him into the world's top 100 for the first time and ignited a run of form which included a 4th at WGC – HSBC Invitational and 2nd places at the Turkish Airways Open in 2019.
We saw further progress from Victor in 2020 as he notched runner up finishes at two Rolex events on the European Tour, the Abu Dhabi Championship and BMW PGA Championship.
Perez bagged his 2nd title in 2022 winning the Dutch Open.
Victor is an extremely solid golfer with no clear weaknesses and once he has gained more experience on tour he could go onto a be a major winner in future. He can be supported in high class European Tour fields.
Significant info
He lives in Dundee, Scotland, (his girlfriend is from there) so he gets a lot of opportunity to practice links golf in non-tournament weeks. This wasn't common knowledge before his win at Alfred Dunhill Links but it's noted now and he can be supported in links format.
Victor turned 30 in September 2022. Look for an upturn in form following this landmark birthday.
