Wesley Bryan spotted outside the ropes at Corales Puntacana Championship after suspension from PGA Tour

Wesley Bryan was seen outside the ropes at the Corales Puntacana Championship on Thursday, April 17. The 2017 RBC Heritage winner was handed a suspension by the PGA Tour for participating in a LIV Golf-affiliated event.

Although barred from competing, Bryan is in Puntacana as the trip was a pre-planned family vacation. He had already paid for a shared rental with PGA Tour player Ben Martin, as per NBC Sports.

In a recent picture posted on Instagram by popular golf account @ziregolf, Bryan can be seen with arms crossed, watching play unfold on the Corales Golf Course, rather than inside the ropes as a competitor. The post was captioned:

"When you have a family vacation planned around your PGA Tour event in the DR but then you get suspended @wesleybryangolf @bryanbrosgolf"

The 35-year-old was suspended after he participated in "The Duels: Miami," a nine-hole scramble match with a $250,000 purse. The YouTube match was held at Trump National Doral, and six LIV Golfers were paired with six YouTube golfers. Bryan was paired with LIV player Dustin Johnson. The match was posted on Grant Horvat's YouTube channel.

Bryan was suspended a day after the video was published. Talking about the PGA Tour, he said (via NBC Sports):

"For the last eight or nine years, the opportunities have been amazing. I'm extremely grateful to the Tour for that. I don’t want this to be the end of my professional golf career."

Wesley Bryan finished as a runner-up last year at the 2024 Corales Puntacana Championship to Billy Horschel by two shots. He took home prize money of $436,000.
