YouTuber George Bryan of Bryan Bros has received a sponsor exemption to play in the 2024 Myrtle Beach Classic from May 9 to 12.

George Bryan almost made qualifying for the PGA Tour's Myrtle Beach Classic at The Q at Myrtle Beach. The Q gave influencers the chance to qualify for the event. Bryan lost the playoff to qualify to Matt Atkins.

In qualifying, Bryan had a two-stroke lead. However, his tee shot on the last hole found the water hazard and he missed his par putt by a few inches. Bryan made a bogey and Korn Ferry Tour winner Matt Atkins carded a birdie forcing a playoff.

The YouTuber lost to the PGA Tour professional on the first playoff hole. Despite missing the cut, Bryan impressed the tournament committee and received an exemption to play in the 2024 Myrtle Beach Classic, marking Bryan's second PGA Tour appearance.

George Bryan said this when he got the call from Darren Nelson with the news on his YouTube video titled '18 Holes From The PGA Tour!' [17:15]:

"Holy cow...This is almost like a dream come true, playing in a PGA Tour event in my home state...When I finished out on 18 I really thought I don't know...I know my game is good and I can play well...Let's go, the story is not done."
