BREAKING: Wesley Bryan has been suspended from the PGA TOUR for participating in the LIV ‘Duels’ Creator event.

In a surprising twist shaking the world of professional golf, Wesley Bryan has reportedly been suspended from the PGA TOUR after participating in the LIV Golf-backed “Duels” Creator event, according to a post from @acaseofthegolf1 on X (formerly Twitter). The move adds yet another layer to the ongoing tension between the PGA TOUR and LIV Golf.

Bryan, 35, has made 134 starts on the PGA Tour, and won the 2017 RBC Heritage. However, since his rookie season, Bryan has not finished better than 156th in the FedEx Cup as he’s battled injury and the yips with his driver. He has played in three events in 2025, his last event coming in March’s Puerto Rico Classic, but does not have a tour card.

However, Bryan and his brother George have achieved a level of fame for creating a YouTube channel, with most of their videos featuring trick shots. Because of his dwindling playing status, Wesley has leaned into the content creation side of the industry, participating in two PGA Tour influencer events in the past year, including in March’s Player Championship. Many of those influencers additionally played in a similar event run by LIV Golf earlier this month at Doral, with both Wesley and George participating.

Since the advent of LIV Golf, PGA Tour members who compete at the Saudi-backed circuit have faced suspensions; the current rule stipulates a one-year suspension from a player’s last LIV event until they can return to the tour. However, YouTuber Grant Horvat—who also competed in the LIV Golf influencer event—announced this week he had received an invitation to compete in the summer’s Barracuda Championship.

The PGA Tour generally does not comment on suspensions. A tour source familiar with the matter told Golf Digest that Bryan was warned prior to his participation at LIV.

Early this year both PGA Tour executives and LIV Golf received funding from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund discussed joining forces to bring together the professional world of golf. The talks failed to produce an agreement on a team concept for the PGA Tour alongside Yasir Al-Rumayyan’s PGA Tour Enterprises involvement and the admission of LIV Golf players into tournaments. The tour declined a $1.5 billion funding proposal presented by PIF during the month.
