Played on the European Tour between 1977 and '95. When he turned 50 in 1995, joined the European Seniors Tour and won the London Masters in his only start.

Bland ended his 1995 Champions Tour year with a T-6th place finish in the Emerald Coast Classic. He continued his good play in 1996 by winning the season opener in Puerto Rico, and finished the year with four wins to finish third on the money list.
