Wesley Bryan Says PGA Tour Won’t Revisit His Suspension Despite Koepka’s Return

The 2017 RBC Heritage winner plans to appeal after being banned for playing a LIV-linked YouTube scramble.

Overview

  • Bryan said he asked the PGA Tour for a conversation to lift his indefinite ban and was told no discussion would be offered.
  • His discipline followed participation in The Duels: Miami, a Grant Horvat YouTube scramble featuring LIV players that the Tour deemed unauthorized.
  • He was placed on probation when the video was announced in April 2025 and was suspended after it was posted, which he argues was a rule not meant for content-creation events.
  • Brooks Koepka’s reinstatement under the Tour’s one-time Returning Member Program does not affect Bryan’s case, highlighting differing pathways for LIV-affiliated violations.
  • Fans have urged the Tour to reinstate Bryan, while separate reporting notes Patrick Reed can return as a non-member from August 25, 2026 as he seeks full reinstatement for 2027.
