Staff WriterThe Bryan Bros are swapping their camera rigs for scorecards this week — but don’t expect them to stop filming anytime soon.
The American duo, who’ve built one of the biggest names in online golf with nearly 700,000 YouTube subscribers, are teeing it up at The International Series Philippines — and bringing their trademark mix of humour, hustle, and heart to the Asian Tour spotlight.
From October 23–26, the brothers will take on the immaculate fairways of Sta. Elena Golf Club, rubbing shoulders with none other than Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, Louis Oosthuizen, and Charl Schwartzel — a field with enough major titles to fill a small trophy shop. For George and Wesley Bryan, it’s not just about golf; it’s about sharing the ride.
“We’ll be documenting the whole experience: the travel, adjusting to jet lag, learning the course, and competing on the Asian Tour,” said George Bryan, the elder brother and a three-time All-American.
“We’re here with our small team – two video guys, our manager Joe, and the two of us – and we want to showcase the beauty of Filipino golf and culture.”
And that’s exactly what the Bryan Bros do best. Their digital storytelling has made them global ambassadors for the modern side of golf — less starchy collars, more human moments.
George added, “Beyond competing, we’re excited to connect with fans here. When we announced we’d be playing, we got so many messages from Filipino followers. Even if just a few of them come out to watch, that’s a win for us. We want to tell the story of golf in the Philippines and show how special this place is.”
It’s a long way from the backyard trick-shot videos that launched their careers. These days, they’re navigating world tours and sponsor invites — including earlier this season’s BMW International Open on the DP World Tour. For the Bryan Bros, this global adventure is exactly what their father had in mind.
“Our dad always encouraged us not to stay in our comfort zone,” George said. “Travelling, adapting to time zones, and learning to play on different courses — that’s how you really grow. It makes your game stronger for when you reach the biggest stages.”
Younger brother Wesley, a former PGA Tour champion who once cracked the world’s top 50, agreed — albeit with a grin and a touch of self-deprecation. “We’ve spent the last couple of days doing what we usually do – filming YouTube videos and planning content,” he said.
“So I haven’t studied the course in depth yet. But it’s intimidating in places – there are spots where you just can’t miss. I’ve heard some guys say it’s one of the wider courses they’ve played recently, so I’m not sure my game’s built for the Asian Tour (laughs). I’m really excited to be here this week.”
He’s not the only one enjoying the experience. “As soon as I stepped on the course, I fell in love with it,” George admitted. “It’s got that old-school feel that really fits my eye.
You’ve got to be creative — everything’s right in front of you. The greens are great, the clubhouse is beautiful, the food’s fantastic, and the people have been incredibly warm and welcoming.”
That warmth cuts both ways. Their followers, many of whom are families, have helped turn the Bryan Bros into more than just influencers — they’re golf’s friendly neighbourhood storytellers.
“From the content side, we just want to create fun, family-friendly videos that our audience will enjoy — showing what it’s like to travel halfway around the world and compete in a professional event,” Wesley said.
“From day one, our goal has been to share that love and grow the game. If we can inspire kids to pick up a club and play with their parents, that’s everything.”
As the brothers see it, they’re helping bridge the gap between old-school golf and new-media energy. “I love traditional broadcasts, but there’s definitely room to evolve,” George reflected.
“YouTube golf has shown that fans want more personality, storytelling, and a closer look at the players. It’s about finding the right balance between tradition and creativity — that’s where the game can really grow.”
For the Bryan Bros, that balance comes naturally — part content creators, part competitors, and all heart.
This week in the Philippines, they’re not just playing for a trophy. They’re showing the next generation that golf, like good storytelling, is best when shared.
