Reflecting on the Wesley Bryan Suspension, Grant Horvat Invitation

Diving into the suspension and the invitation heard ’round the golfing globe in this week’s @Knockaround. Daniel Rapaport also covers a patrons ticket crackdown, three monumental victories worldwide, and a reminder that golf is really, really hard.

The intersection of golf and culture.

Behind every drained putt or hosel rocket into the stands is a human being with complex emotions—among them, an insatiable appetite for golf. That’s what we’re after. Golf’s humanity is what makes it so special to us. There have never been more reasons to love this game, and we’re endeavoring to explore them all.

Wesley Bryan was suspended from the PGA Tour for competing in the Live Duels uh event on Grant Horvat’s YouTube channel. In the same week, we then heard Grant Horvat uh is getting an invite to a PJ tour event. I recently got an invite into the Barracuda. Yeah, it’s really cool. Um but I don’t know where I’m at right now on it. He’s going to play. Otherwise, he wouldn’t say that he got the invite. My prediction. We’re going to jump into a segment we call the knockaround presented by Knockaround. So Wesley is a PGA Tour player. I think he finished like 128th in the FedEx Cup last year. 125 are considered like fully exempt members. They get into every uh non-s signature event. They’re like full-time PGA Tour players. Grant Horvat is not. Grant Horvat has never played in a PJ tour event. PGA Tour players are subject to a different set of rules than nonPGA Tour players. They have to get releases for an event, even if it’s on the DP World Tour. If it’s not on the PGA Tour, obviously they’re not giving out releases for live events. According to a report from Front Office Sports, hundreds of ticket holders who attended this year’s Masters tournament were pulled aside and questioned by Augusta reps over the origin of their tickets where they were purchased, etc. With many passes canceled for the week as the tournament cracked down on resellers. When you drive down Washington Road, there are like 30 signs that say like tickets. Yeah. Like we sell tickets. It’s been explained to me before you can only get the tickets from Augusta National or the lottery, but then you walk outside the the gates and there’s tickets absolutely everywhere. Something’s happening. Ingred Lindblad, she won the JM Eagle Championship. She was an incredible amateur. Ashen Woo won the Vulva China Open on home soil. Passes Haoong Lee for most wins on the DP World Tour by a Chinese player. Our guy Neil Shipley, I was just down there. We filmed it on the bag with him. I think it’s going to come out this week. Tomorrow, I believe. I think it’s going to come out tomorrow. Look at this putt. Look at this pump. He was fired up. Hate to be on the other side of that fist pump. He was fired up. Joel Damon, he’s a knockaround guy. Team knockaround Joel Damon. He birdied. I think it was 11 and I thought he had it. Uh but he ended up boguing his last three holes to lose by one. The last two were particularly painful and then he had this putt for a playoff with the waves crashing. Gave it good pace at least. It wasn’t a feeble effort. We got a promo code for you.
