The PGA Tour has suspended Wesley Bryan for participating in a LIV Golf influencer event. Ryan French of Monday Q was the first to report the story.

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. George partnered with Sergio Garcia to win the nine-hole duel on the first hole of a playoff.

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 the LIV event.

The PGA Tour and and LIV Golf’s financial backer, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, held discussions earlier this year regarding a potential re-unification of the professional game. But the negotiations broke down regarding a potential team element on the PGA Tour, PIF governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan’s role in PGA Tour Enterprises and the assimilation of LIV defectors into tour competition. Earlier this month the tour rejected PIF’s latest $1.5 billion offer.
