Ex-LIV Golf player, Austria’s Bernd Wiesberger, has had his application for membership for the DP World Tour 2024 season accepted.
Wiesberger left the Tour to join LIV, his membership ceased and he was removed from the Race to Dubai, after he failed to comply with the Tour’s minimum counting event regulation for the 2023 season, having played in only two counting tournaments – the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship and the Hero Dubai Desert Classic in January.
Having made over 20 starts on the LIV Golf Tour the former Ryder Cup player and eight-time DP World Tour winner ended up 41st on the LIV points list for 2023 and subsequently found himself out of contract with Cleeks GC.
Wiesberger amassed over €15 million in career earnings as a DP World Tour player over his 12 seasons and the statement from the DP World Tour read, “He subsequently expressed his desire to play a full DP World Tour schedule in 2024 and has fulfilled all sanctions – both financial and tournament suspensions – that were imposed upon him for breaches of the Tour’s conflicting event regulation across 2022 and 2023.
“Consequently, his request for reinstatement has been granted by DP World Tour Chief Executive Keith Pelley, in accordance with the procedure set out in the Members’ Regulations.
“Wiesberger will be exempt in Category 11 for the 2024 season.”
