Wesley Bryan, a professional golfer currently suspended from the PGA Tour, announced plans to launch a new college golf tournament scheduled for next month. The event, named the Bryan Bros Collegiate, is set to take place from September 29 to 30 at Solinas Golf Club in West Columbia, South Carolina, and will feature NCAA Division I teams competing in both individual and team formats.
Details of the Bryan Bros Collegiate Tournament
The upcoming Bryan Bros Collegiate tournament will include a 54-hole men’s golf competition, showcasing collegiate talent in a format combining team and individual play. Wesley Bryan, who is part of the content creator partnership Bryan Bros alongside his brother, will host the inaugural event. This new tournament reflects Bryan’s continued involvement in the sport despite his current suspension from the PGA Tour.
Background on Wesley Bryan’s Tour Suspension
Wesley Bryan’s suspension from the PGA Tour occurred just before the Masters Tournament earlier this year, following his participation in a LIV Golf-affiliated event. Bryan competed in The Duels: Miami, a nine-hole scramble where he and his partner faced well-known figures like Phil Mickelson and content creator Grant Horvat. This match was streamed on the YouTube channel of the 2025 Creator Classic winner. The PGA Tour reacted by banning Bryan shortly after the event aired.
Bryan’s Career Highlights and Recent Performances
Despite the suspension, Bryan has an established PGA Tour record, including a victory at the 2017 RBC Heritage. Last year, he impressed by tying the course record at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship with a round of 10 under par 61. More recently, he finished runner-up at the 2024 Corales Puntacana Championship, narrowly missing the title by two strokes to Billy Horschel. He also competed this July in the 2025 BMW International Open on the DP World Tour, finishing 64th after four rounds.
Bryan Reflects on Suspension and Expresses Gratitude Toward PGA Tour
Following his suspension, Wesley Bryan spoke candidly about the emotional challenges he and his close-knit team faced during this period. In a video posted to his YouTube channel, he described it as an “emotional roller coaster.”
“It’s been a difficult few weeks for us. It’s been an emotional roller coaster for sure for everybody in this cart… even in the midst of the little disagreement we have right now, I just wanted to make sure that we said our proper thank yous…”
He emphasized no bitterness toward the PGA Tour, acknowledging their role in his career development, saying:
“…they’ve given us so much… when we started our YouTube journey ten-plus years ago, all we wanted to do was fund our mini-tour journey in hopes of one day playing on the PGA Tour”
Implications and Future Outlook for Bryan and College Golf
Wesley Bryan’s decision to launch the Bryan Bros Collegiate tournament signals his intent to remain actively involved in golf, even while sidelined from the PGA Tour. This new tournament presents an opportunity for NCAA Division I players to compete at a high level and could become a staple in the college golf calendar. For Bryan, it represents a productive way to stay connected to the sport and contribute to its growth at the collegiate level, even as his status with the PGA Tour remains uncertain.
