Mito Pereira RETIRES at 30 💔 | LIV Golf Exit, PGA Championship Near-Miss & Emotional Goodbye
A stunning decision has rocked the golf world 😲
Mito Pereira has officially announced his retirement from professional golf at just 30 years old, bringing an unexpected end to one of the most compelling careers of his generation.
🇨🇱 Once a rising star on the PGA Tour, Pereira later joined LIV Golf’s Team Torque, competing alongside Joaquin Niemann, Sebastián Muñoz, and Carlos Ortiz. But after being relegated from LIV in 2025, the Chilean golfer has now chosen to step away from the game entirely — prioritizing family, peace, and life beyond constant travel.
💬 In an emotional statement, Pereira reflected on:
• His decision to retire at a young age
• Life on LIV Golf and Team Torque
• Winning three Korn Ferry Tour titles
• Representing Chile at the Olympics & Pan American Games
• The heartbreaking 2022 PGA Championship collapse, where he led after 72 holes before losing to Justin Thomas
• Why returning home to Chile became his top priority
⛳ With 13 professional victories, Olympic appearances, and unforgettable moments on golf’s biggest stages, Pereira’s career may have been brief — but it left a lasting impact.
Was this the right decision? Could he have returned to the PGA Tour? Or does this mark a new trend in professional golf careers?
