Wesley Bryan, born and raised in South Carolina,  has had a passion for golf since he was young. He honed his skills soon enough at the University of South Carolina. That’s where he won two notable college tournaments, the 2008 Rees Jones Intercollegiate and the 2012 Seahawk Intercollegiate. But his impressive career didn’t start until he joined the Korn Ferry Tour, and the PGA Tour as a professional golfer.

Wesley turned pro in 2012 but his professional career took off in 2016 when he earned his Korn Ferry Tour card. In his first year itself, he secured three impressive wins: Chitimacha Louisiana Open, El Bosque Mexico Championship, and Digital Ally Open. On the PGA Tour. Bryan has one event. It was back in 2017 when he won the RBC Heritage, by defeating Luke Donald by a mere 1 stroke.

Bryan was also fascinated by baseball growing up, but something nudged him more towards golf. He also is fond of living his life to the fullest.

A closer look into Wesley Bryan’s life

Wesley Bryan’s golf journey began when he chose the sport over baseball to increase his chances of earning a college scholarship. His earliest golf memory is an amazing one. Only at the age of 8, he scored an eagle and double eagle on consecutive holes in a junior tournament at Thornblade Club near Greenville, S.C., and went on to win his age group. But here is the interesting thing: if Wesley weren’t a professional golfer, he would probably be an attorney.

When Wesley is not teeing off at the greens, Wesley enjoys listening to Justin Bieber’s music during warm-ups. He is an adventurous person and has also tried skydiving, which he describes as his biggest thrill. When on the field and that too on the last day, he likes to baby blue pants, a hot pink shirt, and American flag socks.

He also is fond of social media and is not camera-shy. Wesley co-founded Bryan Bros Golf with his brother George IV and has created viral trick-shot videos on his YouTube channel named Bryan Bros Golf. Not only the golfer, but his family is also deeply involved in golf.

George III is a PGA professional and founder of the George Bryan Golf Academy in Chapin. He is the Director of Instruction there. The golfer’s father competed in the 1999 PGA Championship at Medinah. He has also been named one of the Best Teachers in South Carolina multiple times by Golf Digest. His sister Mary Chandler played at the College of Charleston and was a two-time All-Colonial Athletic Association First Team honoree (2014 and 2015).

We know of his brother, father, and sister but does Bryan have a partner to support him when things get tough on the greens?

Is Wesley Bryan married?

Behind the golfer’s success stands his pillar of strength, his wife Elizabeth Gray. The couple met in preschool at age 4 in Irmo, South Carolina, and have been married for 12 years. The couple didn’t become close until their junior year of high school, and they grew together when Gray pursued a physician assistant degree from Augusta University, while Wesley followed in his father’s footsteps to pursue a golf career.

After marrying on August 19, 2012, the couple decided to start a family and has welcomed three daughters. Their first one was born in 2018, and they named her Hadley; their next daughter, Winnie, was born in 2021. And their third daughter, Millie, followed right after three years, born in February 2024. Gray has been a constant source of support and has accompanied her husband to tournaments. Her unconditional love has brought Bryan immense comfort, and he has even said she would be a great professional caretaker. “I feel like she’s really called to be in the field of medicine and caring for her patients.”

The couple shares a deep Christian faith, and Gray plays a significant role in Wesley’s spiritual journey. “I believed in Jesus; I believed in God, but I didn’t have a relationship,”  he has said previously, but that quickly changed when Gray came into his life. This just proves how much a good partner can change the course of your life for the better.
