What does it take to get suspended by the PGA Tour in 2025? Even industry insiders seem confused about what crosses the line. Players, content creators, and golf media outlets are struggling to understand the Tour’s enforcement standards. The creator economy has blurred traditional boundaries. Meanwhile, participation in golf content creation has become a minefield of uncertainty.Bryan Wesley faces this reality firsthand. He has remained suspended and stuck in an appeals limbo since April. Meanwhile, Grant Horvat posts excitedly about competing in this week’s BMW Charity Pro-Am. Both participants were involved in the same LIV-backed event. Yet only one faces consequences. The contradiction centers on “The Duels: Miami.” This LIV Golf-backed creator event aired April 5th on Horvat’s YouTube channel. Six content creators paired with LIV professionals in a nine-hole scramble format. The event featured a $250,000 prize pool at Trump National Doral.Wesley Bryan participated as a player alongside Sergio Garcia. They won the event after a playoff. Horvat served as both participant and host. His channel reached over 2 million viewers with its content. The PGA Tour suspended Bryan Wesley the day after the video aired. Tour officials cited participation in a LIV-affiliated event without permission. However, initial warnings went to all creators involved. Those warnings were reportedly rescinded for everyone except Bryan.

Here we go!” he posted June 3rd. Bryan remains suspended with his appeal unresolved.The different outcomes have sparked discussion about enforcement criteria. Bryan participated as a player in the event. Horvat’s channel broadcast the entire event and distributed the content to millions. The PGA Tour has not publicly explained the distinction in their enforcement approach.This situation highlights the complexity of modern golf’s content landscape. Bryan played nine holes of golf. Horvat produced, hosted, and distributed the entire production. Both roles contributed to the event’s success and reach.PGA Tour appeal process leaves Bryan Wesley waiting indefinitelyBryan’s appeals journey reveals deeper systemic issues within the Tour’s disciplinary structure. The American Arbitration Association handles PGA Tour disciplinary appeals. However, timelines remain completely unclear to suspended players. Bryan filed his appeal immediately after the April suspension. Nearly two months later, he still awaits any communication about a resolution.“It’s been an emotional rollercoaster,” Bryan stated about the uncertainty. The Tour provides no estimated timelines for appeal decisions. Players face complete uncertainty without knowing their professional fate. Bryan argues the rules target traditional tournaments, not YouTube content. “I don’t feel like when the rule was written it was meant to cover content creation on YouTube,” he explained. “I feel like it was meant to cover organized, professional, high-level golf events.”The appeal process provides no public timeline information. Players cannot track progress or receive estimated resolution dates. Bryan described the uncertainty as an “emotional rollercoaster” during the waiting period. Other creators have expressed support for Bryan on social media. Many users employed the #FreeWesley hashtag across various platforms. Content creators have voiced concerns about the Tour’s enforcement approach in this case.The PGA Tour maintains partnerships with creators through initiatives like the Creator Council. However, disciplinary policies regarding content participation remain undefined in public documentation. Bryan’s case represents the first instance of a suspension related to creator content, rather than traditional tournament participation.Until the Tour clarifies these policies, more players may face similar uncertainty.
