George Bryan and his PGA Tour star brother Wesley Bryan are two of the most popular social media presences in golf at the moment.
Known as the Bryan Bros to fans, both are tremendous golfers, with Wesley actually being a PGA Tour player and a winner as well, following his victory at the RBC Heritage in 2017.
However, despite their obvious success in the YouTube sphere, Bryan [Wesley] doesn’t seem to be one of the star names who the PGA Tour hones in on during TV coverage.

Golf fans slammed the TOUR over Bryan’s coverage yesterday, with the 34-year-old in contention to win but barely being featured on the television.
And after theories were doing the rounds online that the TOUR actively ignores Bryan due to his YouTube success, his brother George has now given his reaction to those suggestions.

With George looking on from afar at his brother being in contention going down the back nine, he clearly picked up on the suggestions online over the lack of coverage.
And in responding to suggestions of Wesley being overlooked, George admitted his complaints might have influenced things.
In the end, Bryan came home in 25th as he struggled down the home straight as Harris English ended up being the eventual winner at eight under par.
Still, George was happy to see his brother in the mix, and posted again to show his delight at seeing his younger sibling being among the chasing pack.
PGA Tour constantly under pressure from golf fans
It seems like the PGA Tour can’t go a week without being picked out for something that needs doing better and this week has been no different.
Golf fans are becoming more and more vocal about criticisms of the TOUR and this issue around Wesley Bryan is just one of a number of problems.
Slow play remains a big issue and Rex Hoggard has urged them to have a name and shame policy for the worst offenders. Indeed, CBS reporter Dottie Pepper also brought slow play up this weekend and claimed that it needs addressing quickly.
The PGA Tour was also hammered by fans for their new studio announcement a few weeks ago, proving that no matter what they do, they are getting plenty of needle.
As it stands, a lot of the critics are right though. Ultimately, the PGA Tour has got to start making some changes or risk becoming a stale product that simply drives viewers away.
