YouTube Golf continues to influence the PGA Tour.
Less than three months after the Tour hosted the 16-man Creator Classic at the Tour Championship. YouTube stars Wesley and George Bryan IVthe Bryan brothers are back for more.
George IV will be making his second start on the PGA Tour this season after receiving an unrestricted sponsorship invitation from the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. He narrowly missed qualifying for the Myrtle Beach Classic in May. It's also worth noting that George IV last held Pro Circuit status in 2017, when he played 12 events on the PGA Tour Latin America, making that near miss all the more impressive. I will.
Nevertheless, unlike the first two rounds in South Carolina, George IV will play alongside his brother Wesley for the first two days in Bermuda. Bermuda's Kamiko Smith, who received another invitation from the sponsor, rounded out the first 36-hole bracket.
George IV made his PGA Tour debut at last year's Butterfield Bermuda Championship, finishing tied for 69th, an impressive performance in his first official start on tour. The Bryan brothers also didn't play in the same pair a year ago.
Wesley, on the other hand, has a lot to play for. he arrives in bermuda Ranked 128th in the FedEx Cup Fall Standingshopes to be in the top 125 by the end of the year. The top 125 finishers will earn PGA Tour memberships for the 2025 season.
Fortunately for Wesley, things have been trending in the right direction since the FedExCup fall season began in Napa in September. He tied for 13th at the Procore Championship and recently finished tied for 6th at the World Wide Technology Championship in Mexico. In the two tournaments he competed in during that time, the Sanderson Farms Championship in Mississippi and the Black Desert Championship in Utah, Wesley posted T-37 and T-21 finishes, respectively.
Wesley currently trails Hayden Springer in 125th place by 13 points, and another strong finish would push him to the right side of the bubble. Perhaps his younger brother George IV will help maintain good spirits in Bermuda this week. Either way, these YouTube stars will definitely entertain their fans again, as they've been entertaining them with their amazing trick shots, challenges, and other vlogs for nearly a decade.
