Wesley Bryan says he will appeal the suspension he has been handed by the PGA Tour for taking part in a LIV-backed event in Miami.
Bryan – whose sole PGA Tour win to date came at the RBC Heritage in 2017 – has become well known for creating golf content on YouTube alongside brother George.
The pair recently competed at “The Duels: Miami” the week before The Masters amid a field of six LIV golfers and six YouTube creators, with George and Sergio Garcia winning the nine-hole scramble.
Bryan confirmed on Wednesday that he has been suspended indefinitely by the PGA Tour after a “little disagreement”, saying: “It’s been a difficult few weeks for us. It’s been an emotional roller coaster for sure.”
Bryan – who won the RBC Heritage in 2017 – plans to appeal his suspension
PGA Tour rules state that members participating in any LIV-backed event face a one-year ban but Bryan is appealing because “The Duels” was not a regular LIV tournament.
He added: “I want to be clear, I do respect the authorities that are in place but because of the ambiguity in the rules and regulations that were written, I do, as a member of the PGA Tour, have a right to appeal their decision of which I plan on exercising.
“I don’t feel like when the rule was written it was meant to cover content creation on YouTube. I feel like it was meant to cover organised, professional, high-level golf events.”
Sky Sports News has contacted the Tour for comment.
Bryan has played three PGA Tour events so far in 2025, tying for 25th at the Farmers Insurance Open while missing the cut at The American Express and Puerto Rico Open.
He has featured in 134 PGA Tour events across the course of his career.

Penn State fires James Franklin: Longtime coach out amid unfathomable slide from preseason CFP contender
Penn State has fired coach James Franklin six games into his 12th season with the Nittany Lions, the university announced Sunday amid a disastrous three-game slide. The No. 2 team in the preseason AP Top 25 just two months ago, the Nittany Lions slipped to 0-3 in Big Ten play following a stunning 22-21 home loss to Northwestern in Week 7 -- a game in which they were a three-touchdown favorite. The massive upset was Penn State's second in a row after falling at previously winless UCLA on Oct. 4, making it the first FBS team since 1978 to lose back-to-back games as favorites of at least 20 points. Associate head coach and cornerbacks coach Terry Smith will serve as interim for the remainder of the 2025 season. "Penn State owes an enormous amount of gratitude to Coach Franklin who rebuilt our football […]
The failure to develop QB Drew Allar sealed James Franklin’s fate at Penn State
It ended in a fury of boos, of sadness, in holding back tears while sitting on a cart while being driven to the locker room with less than five minutes left in a lost season at Penn State.Drew Allar arrived at Penn State as the five-star quarterback who held the keys to the Nittany Lions' next national title, and he leaves as the lasting image in coach James Franklin's downfall and, ultimately, his firing.Less than 24 hours after Allar's unfulfilling Penn State career came to an end with a lower leg injury in the closing minutes of a stunning home loss to Northwestern, Franklin's Penn State career did as well with his Sunday firing that will cost Penn State nearly $60 million in buyout money. They will be forever synonymous."Most people had him projected as a first round draft choice last […]
Matthew Stafford jumps Dan Marino in NFL record book for career passing yards, bolstering Hall of Fame case
Matthew Stafford is in elite company when it comes to career passing yards. Stafford, who entered Sunday's Week 6 game against the Ravens with the 10th most passing yards in NFL history, moved past Hall of Famer Dan Marino on the all-time list during the first half. Stafford entered the game with 61,312 career passing yards, the second-most among active quarterbacks. Earlier this season, Stafford became only the 10th quarterback in league history to reach 60,000 career passing yards. Marino, who is considered as arguably the greatest pure passer in NFL history, retired after the 1999 season as the NFL's all-time career passing leader. Marino also held the NFL single season records for passing yards (5,084) and touchdown passes (48) at the time of his retirement. NFL career passing leaders 1.Tom Brady89,2142.Drew Brees80,3583.
