Early life

edit

Bryan attended Dutch Fork High School in Irmo, South Carolina.[2] He played college golf at the University of South Carolina, winning two events.[3]

Professional career

edit

Bryan played on mini-tours before earning his Web.com Tour card for 2016 by finishing T-9 at qualifying school.[2][4] In his third event of the 2016 season, he won the Chitimacha Louisiana Open.[5]

He picked up a second win a month later at the El Bosque Mexico Championship. In August, he won his third event of the season, the Digital Ally Open, to earn promotion to the PGA Tour. He was the eleventh golfer to do so. He won the Web.com Tour Player of the Year award.[6]

On April 16, 2017, Bryan secured his first PGA Tour victory at the RBC Heritage and earned a spot at the 2018 Masters Tournament. He won by a single stroke over Luke Donald, after a final round of 67 moved him through the field from four strokes behind. With the win, Bryan moved up to 37th in the Official World Golf Ranking, his career-best ranking to date.[citation needed]

Other activities

edit

Bryan and his brother George started a YouTube channel featuring their golf trick-shot videos.[4][7] They also appeared on the golf reality show Big Break The Palm Beaches, FL in 2015.[8] George caddied for Wesley for his first Web.com Tour win.[4] George is also a professional golfer and played on the 2017 PGA Tour Latinoamérica.

Bryan and his wife Elizabeth have two daughters, Hadley and Winnie.

In 2023, brothers Wesley and George Bryan purchased Indian River Golf Club in South Congaree, South Carolina. The private golf course intends on opening as Solina Golf Club in 2024.[9]
