Former LIV Golf player Bernd Wiesberger claims PGA Tour banned him from events despite being non-member - “Who knows what’s going on over there”

Austrian golfer Bernd Wiesberger is one of the most well-known names on The European Tour aka DP World Tour. Wiesberger also played in LIV Golf, but he returned to the DP World Tour before the 2024 season. Recently, Wiesberger made a statement that has shocked the world of golf.

On social media platform X, Wiesberger quote tweeted a post from a handle named Flushing It, which spoke about Henrik Stenson's comments on the divide in professional golf. The 28-year-old claimed that the PGA Tour banned him from the Barracuda Championship and the ISCO Championship.

"Same here. Just received a letter by the pgat banning me from playing the isco and barracuda. Never been a member either. Who knows what’s going on over there…"

Henrik Stenson raised the example of Richard Bland, saying that despite Bland winning the PGA Championship, he was told he wouldn't be getting any starts on the Champions Tour. Stenson said that as per his understanding, Bland wasn't allowed to play on the Champions Tour since he played in LIV Golf.
