After playing two seasons on LIV Golf, Austrian golfer Bernd Wiesberger has returned to the DP World Tour. He lost his contract with the Saudi Circuit.

Wiesberger finished at 41 in the LIV Golf standings at the end of the 2023 season, and the Saudi circuit only allows golfers finishing in the top 24 to continue their journey on the circuit.

The DP World Tour CEO Keith Pelley announced the return of Wiesberger. NUCLR Golf shared the news on its X account with a caption, saying:

"After playing 2 seasons on the LIV Golf Tour and recently losing his contract for next season, 8 time DPWT winner Bernd Wiesberger has had his DP World Tour membership reinstated after never having resigned when he initially left. Keith Pelley made the announcement earlier today."

Fans took to the comments section to say:

"Another blow to PGA Tour's united front to LIV."
"That was easy and better for golf," commented another fan.
"Weak! Should have made him qualify to regain his card," wrote another fan.
