Mito Pereira announces retirement from golf at age 30

Chilean golfer Guillermo 'Mito' Pereira announced his retirement from professional golf at age 30, after a notable career in LIV Golf. The decision accelerated due to his drop in the circuit and a key conversation with former tennis player Fernando González. Pereira expressed peace over achieving milestones and plans to focus on his family.

Last Monday, Guillermo 'Mito' Pereira shook the golf world by announcing his retirement at age 30. The native of Pirque, who had been a rumor in the fairways months earlier, made the decision after his drop in LIV Golf, a millionaire circuit where he had one year left on his contract.

"No es una decisión que haya partido pensando hace poco. Siempre fui de la convicción de hacer hartas cosas en mi vida, no solamente jugar golf. Ahora tengo una familia. Desde que partí de nuevo a jugar golf, a los 17, siempre tuve atrás de mi cabeza no jugar hasta los 60, hacer una buena carrera y tener la opción de hacer lo que estoy haciendo ahora. Cumplí varios logros y estoy muy tranquilo y muy feliz", explained Pereira after the announcement.

His entourage maintained secrecy to avoid interference. A key influence was a conversation with Fernando González in early November. "Ahora en la vida no me estresa nada. No iba a anunciar nada, pero hace dos meses me junté con Fernando González, me dijo que lo hiciera y que me diera un luto, un tiempo para no hacer nada, no preocuparte por nada, aburrirte, y después ver qué cosas hacer", revealed Mito.

González, a triple Olympic medalist who retired from tennis at 31 in 2012, was not surprised by the coffee invitation. "Cuando me pidió juntarnos, no me sorprendió lo que quería hablarme. No me sorprendió porque a mí me pasó; retirarme joven, tener las ganas de retirarme, de hacer otras cosas...", said the 'Bombardero de La Reina'.

Both shared similar experiences, recognizing the importance of personal decisions despite external opinions. "Creo que lo más importante siempre es uno; estar bien y contento con lo que estás haciendo. El tema es que mucha gente viene a opinar, viene a aconsejarte, y no sabe verdaderamente lo que uno siente. Entonces, creo que eso es súper importante. La decisión que tomó Mito, que la tomó él, fue algo meditado y obviamente está más que merecido", highlighted González.

Pereira, with over US$ 20 million in prizes, has no defined plans. "No sé todavía, estoy haciéndole caso al Feña. Tengo que arreglar, cuadrar varios temas, desde lo económico hasta dónde vivir", he indicated. Months from turning 31, he begins a dreamed new stage off the courses.
