The suspension may impact his current standing and future in the sport.
Wesley Bryan Suspended from PGA Tour After LIV Golf Event Participation
The world of professional golf has been shaken up a bit with the latest news out of South Carolina, where professional golfer Wesley Bryan has received a suspension from the PGA Tour. This decision comes hot on the heels of his participation in a LIV Golf-backed event known as “The Duels: Miami.” The event took place on April 5, 2025, featuring a unique twist: six LIV golfers were teamed up with six popular YouTube creators, making it quite the spectacle, both on and off the course.
As if that wasn’t enough, the video footage of the match was uploaded to the YouTube channel Grant Horvat and has already racked up an impressive two million views! It’s safe to say that a lot of eyes were on this event, caught in between the growing intrigue around LIV Golf and traditional PGA events.
The Aftermath of Bryan’s Participation
Following the release of the match video, which showcased some thrilling moments and banter, the ramifications began to unfold for Bryan, a long-standing member of the PGA Tour. Almost immediately after the video went live, it was revealed that he had been suspended from the Tour.
In a candid interview with a golf-focused website, Bryan shared details around his suspension and his outlook on the situation. Although he remains uncertain about the length of his suspension, he is ready to engage in the Tour’s appeals process.
A Passion for Golf Beyond the PGA Tour
What’s striking is Bryan’s attitude towards the whole scenario. He clearly holds no regrets regarding his participation in the event, emphasizing his commitment to supporting golf through his well-loved YouTube channel, Bryan Bros Golf, which he co-runs with his brother. This channel has amassed over 550,000 subscribers and features everything from trick shots to practice rounds and collaborations with other professional golfers and celebrities.
Despite this hiccup in his professional journey, Bryan is thankful for the experiences he has had on the PGA Tour over the past eight to nine years. But these experiences haven’t all been smooth sailing. As it stands, Bryan is currently ranked 242nd in the Official World Golf Ranking, a daunting fall from his peak at 36th in 2017.
Current Standing and Future Prospects
In the context of the PGA Tour this season, Bryan’s performance has been a mixed bag. His best finish thus far has been tied for 25th at the Farmers Insurance Open earlier this January. Recently, however, he faced challenges as he missed the cut in his last two starts, and his current ranking sits at 169th in the FedExCup standings, with just 31 points to his name. So far, he has accumulated $75,068 in official earnings this season, a decent start, but not what one would hope for.
This season has seen him compete in just three PGA Tour events, most recently back in March. Ironically, just as this news breaks, he finds himself at the Corales Puntacana Championship in the Dominican Republic, which happens to fall on the same weekend as the RBC Heritage — a tournament he thrillingly won back in 2017.
A Look Back on Bryan’s Career
Turning pro in 2012 and achieving PGA Tour status in 2017, Bryan has participated in a total of 134 PGA Tour events, successfully making cuts in 68 of them. Throughout his career, he has bagged an impressive total of over $5.2 million in prize money. His greatest achievement, of course, remains the RBC Heritage victory at the iconic Harbour Town Golf Links, located in his home state of South Carolina.
As the golf community watches closely, the outcome of Bryan’s suspension and the ongoing LIV Golf feud continues to generate chatter among fans and players alike. One has to wonder: how will this latest chapter in Bryan’s career unfold? Only time will tell.
