Bland shot a one-under 69 in the final round at LIV Golf Chicago to finish the tournament tied for 15th.
ANALYSISBland hinted earlier in the year that he would retire from golf once he lost his spot in the LIV Golf league. He'll have to wait to hang up his clubs for at least a year, as his spot in the league for 2025 is secure after finishing in the Lock Zone of the individual season standings in 19th. He earned points in all but one LIV Golf tournament this season, joining
Jon Rahm and
Tyrrell Hatton as the only players to do so. His T4 finish in Greenbrier was his best of the LIV Golf season, but Bland didn't come away without hardware as he won both the U.S. Senior Open and Senior PGA Championship. He'll look to add to his trophy collection at the LIV Golf Team Championship in Dallas next weekend, where he will represent Cleeks GC alongside
Adrian Meronk,
Kalle Samooja and captain
Martin Kaymer.
