Dustin Johnson’s 4Aces locks 2024 roster by retaining Pat Perez as LIV Golf sides look for replacement

Dustin Johnson's 4Aces has finalized the roster for the 2024 season by renewing Pat Perez's contract for LIV Golf's third consecutive season, addressing concerns about his future. With just three top-ten finishes this season, Perez secured the 28th position in the LIV Golf League's season standings.

Players who finished 25th to 44th found themselves in an open zone, making them subject to potential trades or releases by teams for the upcoming season. After entering the open zone, Perez had to negotiate with either the 4Aces or other teams. A third option was also available: competing at the LIV Golf Promotions event in Abu Dhabi next month and finishing in the top three to rejoin the main league.

The 4Aces GC announced the locked roster on their social media handles. The 4Aces will feature Johnson, Peter Uihlein, Patrick Reed, and Perez.
