Former Ryder Cup star handed well timed lifeline after shedding LIV Golf place

“Bernd Wiesberger’s application for membership for the 2024 season has been accepted by the DP World Tour,” a DP World Tour spokesman mentioned. “Wiesberger’s 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.

“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 performed for Europe throughout their humiliating 19-9 defeat to the Americans within the 2021 Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits. His return to the DP World Tour means he’s as soon as once more eligible to compete for a spot within the revered staff occasion.
