Is Elizabeth Gray the unsung hero behind Wesley Bryan's success on the golf course?

As a professional golfer on the PGA Tour since 2016 and winning one PGA Tour event, the RBC Heritage in 2017, Wesley Bryan is probably the best golfer who played in the Creator Classic. As a content creator, he has brought the somewhat niche sport of golf to the masses with his brother George, through their YouTube channel Bryan Bros Golf. The channel boasts 413,000 subscribers and showcases the brothers’ golfing abilities and humor as they provide an inside look at the PGA Tour and play against Tour pros like Sahith Theegala.

What we don’t get to see from the channel is his personal life which has a solid foundation provided by his wife of 12 years, Elizabeth Gray. So who is Elizabeth Gray and how has she been his pillar through his golf-playing and content-creating years?

Elizabeth Gray and Wesley Bryan were both born in Irmo, South Carolina, in 1990. The both of them seemed destined to be together from the very beginning of their lives. They first met as children in preschool when they were 4 years old. But they didn’t seem to become friends in their childhood even though they had many mutual friends and would run into each other a lot.

 

Their love blossomed in their junior year of high school. Bryan was interested in pursuing golf as a career like his father and Gray had a passion for providing healthcare. For college, she went to Augusta University and got a physician assistant degree. After both of them had completed their college education, they got married on August 19, 2012, in a beautiful ceremony in South Carolina.

Have an interesting take?

The next step in their relationship was growing the family. That came a little later, as Bryan has said that he was intimidated to have children at first. The couple celebrated the birth of their first child, Hadley, in 2018, their second child, Winnie, arrived in 2021 and this year their third daughter, Millie, was born in February and Wesley Bryan became a girl dad of three. The couple recently completed 12 years of marriage and the PGA Tour pro put a post on his Instagram celebrating the same.

Gray has regularly supported Bryan from the sidelines, both on the Korn Ferry and on the PGA Tour. He stated in an interview that it was a huge relief knowing that he is unconditionally loved by his wife despite a win or a loss in games. While Elizabeth Gray has said that she knows how important golf is for her husband, similarly, Bryan has never shied from showing his support for his wife and her professional endeavors; he even once stated, ”I feel like she’s really called to be in the field of medicine and caring for her patients.”

They are also both devout Christians and Elizabeth Gray may be the reason for bringing Wesley Bryan back from what he deemed to be a wayward path.

How Elizabeth Gray brought Wesley Bryan closer to Jesus

“I believed in Jesus, I believed in God, but I didn’t have a relationship.” Wesley Bryan has said. That all changed when Elizabeth Gray came into his life. Gray is said to have shared the gospel with Bryan until he took it to heart. He became a much more devout Christian in his senior year of high school, crediting Gray for influencing him during the beginnings of their relationship.

To do this, they are said to have set up rules and changed Bryan’s perspective to the view of eternal life and not just a momentary one. Their relationship seems to have benefited from it, as they have had a solid and seemingly happy 12 years of it.
