PGA Tour suspends Wesley Bryan for participating in rival LIV-backed event

The PGA Tour has suspended Wesley Bryan for playing in a LIV Golf-backed event two weeks ago.

The tour has not commented, though Bryan told the website Monday Q, which first reported the suspension, that he doesn’t know how long it will last and indicated that he would follow the tour’s appeals process.

Bryan, 35, is attending but not competing this week in the Corales Puntacana Championship in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, where he finished second last year to Billy Horschel. It is on the schedule opposite the RBC Heritage, which Bryan won in 2017 in his native South Carolina for his lone PGA Tour victory.

He no longer has full tour status and has played in three events in 2025 as recently as March, missing two cuts — the exception a tie for 25th at the Farmers Insurance Open in January. Bryan is 169th in the FedExCup standings (31 points) with $75,068 in official earnings.

He and his brother, George, have become popular for creating content on a YouTube channel, with videos featuring trick shots. Wesley Bryan participated in two PGA Tour influencer events in the past year, including in March, Golf Digest reported.

The Bryan brothers competed in a similar event run by LIV Golf — a rival to the PGA Tour — the week before the Masters at Doral called “The Duels: Miami.” George Bryan and partner Sergio Garcia of the LIV tour won the nine-hole scramble on the first playoff hole.

The event, featuring six LIV golfers and six YouTube creators, had a $250,000 purse and was streamed on Grant Horvat’s YouTube channel.

All of the creators were informed through a third party there could be disciplinary action from the PGA Tour, according to the Monday Q report. Only Wesley Bryan was suspended, per the report, on the day after The Duels went live on Horvat’s channel.

Bryan told Monday Q that he doesn’t regret playing in The Duels.

“That video is one of the most powerful videos in YouTube golf.” Bryan said. “We are going to continue to support Grant and grow the game through YouTube.”

He also showed gratitude for his career on the PGA Tour.

“For the last eight or nine years, the opportunities have been amazing,” Bryan said. “I’m extremely grateful to the Tour for that. I don’t want this to be the end of my professional golf career.”

Bryan has made 68 cuts in 134 career PGA Tour events, with five top-five finishes and nine top-10 finishes.

A native of Columbia, S.C., who played at the University of South Carolina, Bryan turned professional in 2012, joined the tour in 2017 and has earned $5,247,630 in official money, per the tour.
