The ‘Bryan Bros’ are one of the biggest and best known brands in online golf content, and the American brothers are eager to use their channel to shine the spotlight on The International Series and the Asian Tour this week as they compete in an elite-level field at International Series Philippines.

The duo, who have over 690,000 subscribers on YouTube and over 350,000 Instagram followers, are teeing it up at Sta. Elena Golf Club as invites to the sixth of nine International Series events on the Asian Tour calendar that offer a pathway onto LIV Golf for the Rankings champion.

They join an incredible field that features former world No.1 Dustin Johnson along with fellow major champions and LIV Golf stars Patrick Reed, Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel.

George, the older brother and a three-time All American collegiate golfer, explained the plan for the week at a special pre-tournament media meet on site. He said: “We’ll be documenting the whole experience: the travel, adjusting to jet lag, learning the course, and competing on the Asian Tour. 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.

“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.”

The brothers also played the BMW International Open on the DP World Tour this season via sponsor invites, and they are delighted to broaden their horizons once again.

George said: “Our dad always encouraged us not to stay in our comfort zone. Traveling, 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.”

Wesley, who made the cut in Germany, added: “The pathways are broader now. Before, it was mainly to the DP World Tour (that the Asian Tour players looked to go). But with LIV Golf as another avenue, The International Series adds a whole new level. It’s giving players more opportunities to make a living doing what they love, while also improving the global competitiveness of the sport.”

Younger brother Wesley, a former PGA Tour champion who broke into the top 50 of the OWGR at one stage in his career, is no stranger to elite-level competition. He admitted that he is looking forward to taking on the ‘intimidating’ Sta. Elena course.

He said: “We’ve spent the last couple of days doing what we usually do – filming YouTube videos and planning content. 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.

“I still get nervous. My tee shot nerves are real – especially knowing the fairway is about 95 yards wide (laughs). But once you get going, you settle in.”

George added: “As soon as I stepped on the course, I fell in love with it. 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. Honestly, it’s been an amazing experience so far.

“We grew up following the Asian Tour – it was featured in Golfweek (magazine) back in the day. So it’s pretty surreal to now be playing in an Asian Tour event. Our dad always told us, ‘You should travel the world and play golf,’ and 20 years later, here we are, doing just that.”

The brothers, self-confessed ‘golf sickos’, are looking at the bigger picture as they prepare to share content and compete with some of the best players in the world. Wesley said: “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. 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.

Wesley added: “Most of our viewers are families watching together at home, not just individuals on phones. We want to make golf content that brings generations together — like it did for us with our dad. Tours like LIV, the Asian Tour, and DP World Tour are helping globalize the game, and we’re proud to play a small part in telling that story.”

Reflecting on the role they currently play in growing the game, George continued: “I love traditional broadcasts, but there’s definitely room to evolve. 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.”
