Youtuber Wesley Bryan shows off at the 2024 Corales Puntacana Championship

Wesley Bryan is a name that resonates with both golf enthusiasts and YouTube followers alike. Known for his trick-shot videos performed along with his brother George, Wesley Bryan has carved a niche for himself in the digital world, and his (and his brother’s) YouTube channel named “Bryan Bros Golf” has just became a decade old.

The channel, which currently boasts 344k subscribers, features trick shots and collaborations with famous golfers. Their popularity isn’t confined to YouTube alone; as they have another channel, “Bryan Bros TV,” which has 64k subscribers and features vlogs from their tours and behind-the-scenes content.

But Wesley Bryan isn’t just a YouTube sensation. He is also a full-fledged professional golfer who has made his mark on the greens. He recently had the opportunity to prove it once again at the Corales Puntacana Championship.

His performance in the Puntacana Resort & Club’s Corales Golf Course further solidified his status as a formidable player. Bryan held the 54-hole lead at the Corales Puntacana Championship, and he carded a smooth 68 in the final round. Despite not clinching the title, Bryan’s performance was commendable, finishing solo second to Billy Horschel.

He started fast with an opening-round, 9-under 63, which he backed up with scores of 69-66 into the final round. In the process, Wesley Bryan set the 36-hole tournament record by two shots, at 15-under 129. This was also the career 34-year-old golfer’s best performance. 

Wesley Bryan’s result is even more spectacular when you consider that he only played twice professionally in 2024. He previously played the Puerto Rico Open, where he missed the cut.

Wesley Bryan’s journey from a YouTube trick-shot artist to a professional golfer and vice versa is a testament to his talent and dedication.
