Bernd Wiesberger has revealed that he is banned from competing in two PGA Tour events later this year due to his past LIV Golf loyalties, despite never being a member of the American-based circuit.

Having played in the opening two seasons of the LIV setup, Wiesberger opted to leave the breakaway league and return to the DP World Tour for 2024. The former Ryder Cup star saw his DP World Tour fines settled, and served a suspension before returning at the Dubai Desert Classic in January.

Since then he has played in a further eight events on the European-based circuit, and would have had hopes of playing on American soil later this year with the ISCO Championship and Barracuda Championship included on the DP World Tour schedule.
