Bernd Wiesberger’s name has been making the rounds in the world of golf lately. After his two years at LIV Golf, circumstances have made him return to the DP World Tour. The famous Austrian golfer defected to the Saudi-backed league in 2022. He is now making a return to the DP World Tour for the upcoming season.

While Wiesberger’s to-and-fro movements from one side of the golf leagues to another have got the golf world talking, his move to LIV Golf and its conclusion has also sparked curiosity among fans. Not just the reason for his departure, fans also want to know how much he earned in his time at LIV Golf.

Deep look into Bernd Wiesberger’s pocket post-LIV Golf

LIV Golf is famous for the heavy amount of money it pays to its players. Many of the golfing talents have defected to Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund-backed league because of the lucrative financial incentives it offers to them. One of the defectors to the now-debated rival league was the Austrian golf sensation Bernd Wiesberger.

Wiesberger has won a whopping eight times on the European Tour. He had left the league to be a part of Greg Norman’s LIV Golf in 2022. He spent two years of his professional career playing at the LIV Golf events. He was part of the Cleeks GC Team at LIV Golf and played alongside Martin Kaymer, Richard Bland and Graeme McDowell. However, the LIV Golf feat of Bernd Wiesberger has come to an end, after he finished 41st in the individual standings in its 2023 season.

But many are wondering about the amount of money that came Wiesberger’s way during his time at the infamous league. Bernd stands at the 45th place of the prize money standing at LIV Golf. The famous golfer has played 22 events in his LIV Golf career, which garnered him a sum of $4,685,844 million.

Even though Wiesberger earned close to $5 million in his LIV Golf professional career, he did not finish in the Top 10 in any of the 22 events there. His top finish was at LIV Golf Jeddah, where he was tied at the 11th position in October 2023. Only time will tell how things will end up for the famous Austrian in the upcoming season.
