Wesley Bryan provides surprising update on his PGA Tour suspension

Former PGA Tour member turned YouTube golf content creator Wesley Bryan says his situation remains unchanged despite the returns of Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed.

Koepka quit LIV Golf in December and has been permitted to return to the American circuit under a new scheme whilst Reed will have to wait until this August to tee up again. 

The PGA Tour revealed on Wednesday that three other players - Hudson Swafford, Pat Perez and Kevin Na - have been reinstated but will be eligible to return at different times. 

Bryan, though, has claimed that he has been told by the PGA Tour that no conversation will take place about uplifting his suspension. 

Bryan, 35, has become well known for creating golf content on YouTube alongside his older brother George. 

His sole PGA Tour victory came at the 2017 RBC Heritage. 

The pair competed at at "The Duels: Miami" the week before the 2025 Masters alongside six LIV golfers and six YouTube content creators. 

Because the event appeared on LIV Golf's YouTube channel, it saw Bryan receive an indefinite suspension. 

PGA Tour rules state members - and even non-members - participating in LIV Golf events face one-year bans but Bryan appealed because he believed "The Duels" was not a regular golf tournament. 

When he was suspended, he told his followers on YouTube: "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."

Bryan, who has featured in 134 PGA Tour events across his career, told his X followers yesterday after Reed was reinstated that his situation remains unchanged. 

"Appreciate all the support recently," he said. 

"Unfortunately, Brooks Koepka coming back to the tour has no bearing on my situation. 

"I have reached out and asked for a conversation to potentially uplift my suspension, and I have been told that no such conversation will be given

He added: "I just wanted to clarify my current situation, as a lot of you guys have been asking. 

"I still love the PGA Tour, and definitely love YouTube. See y’all soon on the internet."

Koepka is making his return this week at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. 

The 35-year-old American told reporters he was nervous and was desperate to get the first week out of the way so he can concentrate on playing golf again. 

Koepka revealed that when he quit LIV Golf on 23 December, the first person he called was Tiger Woods.
