Wife of LIV Golf star who’s close to being dumped wanted Rory McIlroy ‘punched in the face’

The Dramatic Downfall: From Love to Divorce and Rivalry in LIV Golf

 

Ashley Perez’s Explosive Comments: Why She Wanted Rory McIlroy ‘Punched in the Face’

Ashley Perez, the social media influencer and wife of LIV Golf star Pat Perez, has found herself in the midst of personal and professional turmoil. Not only is she in the process of divorcing her husband, but she has also been vocal about her disdain for other prominent figures in the golf world, most notably Rory McIlroy.

 

In a stunning revelation last year, Ashley Perez expressed her wish to see Rory McIlroy, the renowned Northern Irish golfer, get “punched in the face.” This shocking statement came in the wake of the Ryder Cup, where Team Europe, led by McIlroy, clinched victory over their American rivals. The event was marred by controversy, particularly when McIlroy was seen shouting at caddie Joe LaCava in the car park. This incident sparked outrage in Ashley, leading her to unleash a tirade on Instagram.

 

In her post, Ashley wrote: “I can’t possibly be the only one that would absolutely love to watch Rory get punched in the face. And I mean that in the nicest possible way… kinda.” This sentiment, coming from the wife of a professional golfer, added fuel to the already intense rivalry between American and European golf fans.

 

Ashley’s marriage to Pat Perez, a well-known figure in the LIV Golf league, has been on the rocks for some time. Reports indicate that she filed for divorce in November, marking the end of their tumultuous relationship. The couple, who married in 2014 after meeting at a dinner in Las Vegas, have two children together. Their separation is still working its way through the legal system, and it appears they will soon part ways for good.

 

Meanwhile, Pat Perez’s career is also facing significant challenges. Having signed with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf league in 2022 on a reported $10 million deal, Perez initially tasted success by clinching the inaugural LIV team championship with the 4Aces. However, his fortunes have taken a turn for the worse this year. Currently ranked 47th in the league table, Perez is dangerously close to being cut from the promotion.

 

With just four games left to play, Perez’s best performance this year was a T-14 finish in Nashville. He still has opportunities to improve his standing in upcoming games in Andalucia, the UK, Greenbrier, and Chicago. However, with only 7.76 points overall, he has a steep climb ahead if he hopes to retain his place in the league for 2025. Players who finish 49th or below will be dropped from the series, and at the time of writing, only Harold Varner III and Laurie Canter are keeping Perez from relegation.

 

The coming months will be critical for Pat Perez, both personally and professionally. As his marriage to Ashley Perez appears to be ending, his career in the LIV Golf league hangs by a thread. The tension surrounding his potential relegation adds another layer of drama to an already volatile situation. Golf fans and followers of the Perez family will be watching closely as the story continues to unfold.
