Here for Wes comments
Better changes for 2030, 50 years from now. That’s some good math 😂😂😂
5:14 for Wesley
I haven't had the chance to see Wesley play on tour yet, but if I do, you can bet I will stop what I am doing and watch.
Don't sell yourself short or be so self-deprecating. You're a positive influence on golf and people like watching "your product."
Bryan is a tool 🔧
Others have said this and it makes me glad. Wes Bryant is fun to watch! His YouTube channel has made me like him and his game and I wish they’d show more of him. The Bryan bros rule and I want to see them succeed.
Huge Bryan bros fan and I'm also a professional golf fan. I don't agree that people are only out to see the top ten players, in points, play golf. Had the pleasure of meeting Wesley Bryan in person at the Canadian Open this past year and he is just as fun in person as he is on YouTube. Go Bryan Bros!
Making it harder for guys to get opportunities to get and play on tour from qualifiers or what not is just asinine!! It’s already hard enough! When I watch I don’t just want to see the top guys. That gets old.
Alot harder to get on tour unless you are the top 1 or 2 players our of college who win out the gate.
Wes, we love watching you play. We all root for you. Only reason why 54k people have watched this video. Golf Channel knows it too; you're in the thumbnail!
Wesley is the most exciting player to watch on tour.
Thanks LIV, just another crappy decision
Luv the Bryan Bros and their game.
Just turned on golf Channel because I got an alert from PGA tour app Wesley Bryan 🔥. You guys aren't showing him you suck!! LETS GO WES!!!!
Agree with LG 10000%. I thought the tour had maybe turned a corner with the creator classic and was going to look to expand some of that stuff…but then they go and do a boneheaded thing like this. And the USGA (I think) is rolling back the ball. C'mon guys, we are supposed to move forwards, not back.
Limiting fields limits revenue.
Also if you don't think more people are going to go do their own thing, you're dead wrong.
It's a typical rich get richer move. What's new. And of course Wesley doesn't care, he has a growing youtube channel. He'd rather make content and stay at home with his family (which who can blame him).
I love this game
If u have a card and can't get into tournaments, then u suck.
Qualifiers are for talent finders. Eliminating that opportunity means we are stuck with the suck pros like this dude.
It's exciting seeing the underdog through qualifiers
Huge fan of YT golf and Wes… he's built for TY with his personality but most pros aren't. I go with what Glover says. Keep the fields big. Keep the Monday qualifier. Who doesn't love a cindarella story. John Daly 9th alternate first major victory. I mean come on give the guys that want to live their dreams a shot!
shocking wes bryan has a differing opinion
Literally Wesley is the MAN. Haha straight up spitting facts.
The pga needs to think about how tomorrow's stars will emerge if they eliminate Monday qualifiers and limit fields.
And the golf fan will often be interested in players who are not in the top 100 because of where they come from, where they played in college, etc. Fan interest is not driven by the stars only. When you go from 125 to 100 you reduce those opportunities for fan connections.
Clicked cause of Wesley You Tube golf is more entertaining!!!
Lucus Glover is totally right!!! Guy makes the best case….
I agree with Glover and I think it is kind of wrong to ask Wes how he feels. Do not get me wrong, I love Wesley. But if you ask any other player fighting for a spot, you will get a much different answer. He can fall back on the YT cushion whilst the others are fighting for their livelihood.
Glover is 100% right. They made all these changes and none were necessary. It wasn't broken but they decided to fix it aka make it much worse.
They have nobody but themselves to blame.
This is where the vision of the PGA Tour’s understanding its talent and how to leverage that talent to increase viewership falls short. Take this channel @golfchannel you have 277k followers here on YouTube while the @BryanBros have 449k followers. If the PGA Tour televised Wesley Bryan they would increase viewership by a half million by that one person alone…he will modestly deny this however @WesleyBryan is a star. Regardless how he is playing the fan base is engaged in successes and failures. That’s just one player they are misusing his on camera presence, imagine if the @PGATour rethought how they marketed their talent and applied that thinking to their entire product. To say that the players who are flirting with the top 125 aren’t valuable to the final product, if the end goal is increased viewership Wesley Bryan is the perfect example that proves that whether you are #1 or #138 when you are bring a half million viewers to the final product covering your Stars regardless of rank makes a lot of money. @WesleyBryan don’t undersell your value. The PGA Tour needs you a lot more than you need them!
Love Wes!
So it's a cash grab from established names. Ew.
Glover is spot on.
Wesley's a fk'n g, always says how it is, no bullshit!
Case in point, Norman Xiong, the best college player in 2018 since Tiger, finally graduated KF and got his Tour card in 2024, the results, 15 events, 5 cuts made, $216K earned, and 192nd FedEx ranking….he's fighting the battle of few opportunities to play
Glover is 100% correct. Why would you limit further the tour cards available??? It’s already hard enough and now you’re just boxing out potential stars from getting in because you wanted to protect the few in the short term.
If I was the players outside the 125 I would band together with the many number of players inside the 125 to impeach the players pushing this garbage. End these proposed changes in its tracks.
PGA. If you guys eliminate Monday Qualifiers genuinely fuck you. I’ve gotten close to qualifying and a Monday Qualifier won on Korn Ferry less than a year ago. Monday qualifiers surprise people and make a difference don’t take that away.
terrible, one dimensional take from wes. lost some respect for the dude for sure.
Love seeing you play, Wes!! Keep it up, bud!!!
Give me the ability to watch Wesley play 18 over someone like Speith anyday! Don’t sell yourself short Wesley, the work you and George put in on YouTube gives us viewers a more personal relationship with who we’re watching
Glover is wrong. Tennis has reduced draw sizes for tournaments, as 1 example.
So now the PGA tour is even LESS unattainable. I'd like to be one of those guys that gets a card and doesn't get into a tournament.
