Former PGA Tour pro Wesley Bryan sued over alleged 'stolen business opportunity'
A Colorado-based company claims the YouTube golf stars breached confidentiality agreements and used its business idea to launch the lucrative Your Golf Tour series.
Two of the biggest stars of the YouTube golf space are being sued, according to a report.
Former PGA Tour pro Wesley Bryan and his older brother George, of Bryan Bros Golf, are facing a lawsuit alleging they used confidential business information to develop the Your Golf Tour (YGT) series without the involvement of the entrepreneur who claims to have originated the concept.
One Shot Ventures LLC, a Colorado-based company founded by Kevin Baum, has filed a complaint in the US District Court in Colorado against the brothers and talent agency Provisions Group.
The news was first reported by GOLF.
The lawsuit alleges that Wesley Bryan and Provisions founder Joe Gilliland breached non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and used ideas shared by Baum to establish YGT, which launched earlier this year.
The complaint describes the alleged conduct as a "business opportunity stolen".
According to the filing, Bryan and Gilliland signed NDAs in connection with discussions about a proposed team-based golf competition featuring content creators, professional golfers and celebrities.
The agreements allegedly restricted the use of One Shot Ventures' confidential information to the proposed business venture, preventing either party from using it for competing projects.
Baum claims he invested hundreds of thousands of dollars and spent considerable time developing the concept, securing initial funding and outlining an ownership structure involving all three parties.
The complaint also alleges Bryan expressed strong enthusiasm for the proposal, describing himself as "all in".
It further claims he believed the venture's leading content could generate approximately $50,000 per video, per event, through YouTube advertising revenue alone.
Communications between the parties allegedly continued into autumn 2024, with Bryan and Gilliland expected to play leading roles in recruiting other creators.
However, One Shot Ventures claims the relationship ultimately failed to deliver the promised business partnership.
The Bryan brothers subsequently featured in LIV Golf's Duels events in 2025 before launching YGT alongside Provisions in 2026.
The four-event series has attracted tens of millions of views and features some of YouTube golf's biggest names, including Grant Horvat, Brad Dalke, Garrett Clark and Roger Steele.
Four teams compete across the schedule, with events distributed across multiple YouTube channels.
Team Wesley collected $300,000 for winning the second tournament, while the season finale, scheduled for Wynn Las Vegas, will feature a $1m prize fund.
One Shot Ventures alleges its reliance on Bryan and Gilliland, together with assurances about their continued involvement, resulted in financial losses.
It is seeking damages, although no specific amount has been disclosed.
Bryan Bros Golf and Provisions Group are yet to comment.
