“Copious Amounts of Dubs:” After Invading LIV Golf, $26B E-Sports Giant Swoops On PGA Tour, as 33YO Pro Makes an Amusing Confession

What do pro golfers do off the greens to pass the time? PGA Tour legend Tiger Woods enjoys reading books and watching different sports. Brooks Koepka would perhaps say ‘party’ with a very Koepka like grin. But for a few of them out there, it’s the virtual world of gaming that draws them more than partying, reading, or watching other sports.

And their love for video games, one in particular, cuts across the LIV Golf-PGA Tour divide. Amidst the uncertain water that both the behemoths have been swimming in since June, two pro golfers from opposite sides of the spectrum have surprisingly found common ground in Fortnite.

PGA Tour pro swoons over Fortnite

Wesley Bryan is set to tee off at the Albany Golf Club in the Butterfield Bermuda Championship later this week. After appearing on the greens after a month, the obvious question was what the PGA Tour pro had been doing in the long break.

It turns out he was hooked on the $26 billion gaming giant, Fortnite. The golfer was candid in admitting his love for the shooting game. “OG Fortnite just dropped… I’ve (been) catching copious amounts of dubs with the boys,” confessed the 33-year-old golfer, drawing a chuckle from everyone in the room. But who got him into it? Well, it was his younger brother.

“George lured me in; he was 32 and still playing video games.” In 2017, Wesley Bryan underwent shoulder surgery and was on a recovery break. Fortnite dropped at that point. The shooting game offered a welcome respite to the golfer at that time. The six-year-old tryst still holds a special place in his heart. “So now it’s bringing back all the memories in a sling.” “It’s so much better than I can describe in the microphone,” words come gushing out of him as the 33-year-old golfer fawns over the multiplayer game.

It’s not uncommon for golfers to unwind in the virtual world, and Bryan is not the only pro golfer who loves to play Fortnite. Earlier, one LIV Pro admitted his love for the shooting game on Instagram.

Only a month ago, Rangegoat GC’s Joaquin Niemann confessed his love for the multiplayer game on his Instagram handle. But in contrast to Wesley Bryan’s ‘copious amounts of dubs’, the Chillean golfer keeps it at two hours a day.

The Chillean golfer was perhaps ready for his practice rounds. When asked what else he likes other than playing golf, the 25-year-old golfer admitted his love for cars and Fortnite. “I still play Fortnite during my off time. Two hours, no more than that.”

Fortnite makers recently revealed that they had the biggest day in the game’s history this Saturday. 44.7 million gamers logged a whopping 102 million hours in the wake of the new season’s release. Wesley Bryan was probably one of them. And although it wasn’t confirmed it is quite likely that Niemann was too!
