With the victory, Bland earned a spot in the 2025 US Open and is excited to compete in the Major. Speaking about playing in the 2025 US Open, Bland said (via Golf Week):

"I know what you guys like to do with U.S. Opens, so just go easy on us olders. Maybe you can stick a tee up maybe for me. It was my first ever tournament in America in at Bethpage in ’09, and I was just blown away by it. We’re always kind of like, oh, being from Europe or from the UK, our major is The Open, but I was blown away by the U.S. Open. I’ll be looking at flights to Oakmont for next year very, very soon."

Prior to joining LIV Golf, Bland played on the European Tour, where he won one tournament. He has four professional wins in his career.
