More than a year left for the Good Good Championship to unfold, and the buzz in the golf world is already electrifying. Equal parts skepticism, equal parts anticipation, and equal parts disapproval. But, while the haters will type ferociously on X, for some, this event can offer a much-needed opportunity. By some, we mean a suspended PGA Tour pro, Wesley Bryan. Matt Schraff, of Good Good Golf, shed some light on this.

According to Matt Schraff, from Good Good Golf, Bryan’s participation in the new FedExCup fall event is a likely possibility. What gives this? It was Bryan’s congratulatory comment on Good Good Golf’s Instagram post, which ended up receiving the most likes. Surely, people took notice.

“It could be his return, or we’re going to have to go out there and battle for 18 holes, and if I beat him, get the spot. You know, we you know, you never know. Um, but yeah, it could be his return,” Schraff said at The Scratch Golf Show, hinting at the way Bryan could be accommodated in the event.

His comments indicate that while Byran is not confirmed, organizers might be considering him for a potential special exemption. Considering the motive, nature, and team behind the Good Good Championship, Wesley might even end up playing despite his PGA Tour suspension.

Welsey Bryan faced a suspension in April of this year, after he participated in The Duels: Miami, an event backed by LIV. The PGA Tour has a strict policy against its golfers competing in LIV events without the Tour’s permission. Bryan made the mistake and was shown the exit door. This controversy was further exacerbated when Grant Horvat, who also played in the same event, later received a sponsor’s exemption to the Barracuda Championship without any disciplinary action.

Since then, Bryan has stated his desire to appeal the suspension, citing that The Duels was a content creation event, and not a formal LIV tournament. Nothing has happened as of yet. But with the Good Good Championship, the presence of an unusual mix of competitors might make it possible for Bryan to be there.

After all, Schraff described the process of choosing the “right people” as “hardest.” What’s also notable is that Good Good Team has now collaborated with Big Break, which is also making a return after 11 years in August 2026. The winner of that tournament will also receive a chance to be in the Good Good Championship. What’s interesting is that Wesley Bryan has also participated in Big Break in the past (2015). This particularly helped him launch his career into what it is today.

“We’ve got to sit down. We have to have a bunch of conversations that are going to have to happen about who all gets there. So, figuring out all of the logistics of that, too, is going to be kind of insane. It’s going to be the hardest thing…getting a PGA tour event and getting people to play in… the whole Big Break thing, because we are going to have to narrow down. There’s going to be so many amazing applications and candidates that are going to want to play and and it’s going to be very difficult,” Schraff added.

So, many things point to his possible inclusion in the Good Good Championship. If he makes it to the field, it remains to be seen. Meanwhile, he might not be the only controversial player earning a ticket into the event.

Sergio Garcia’s possible appearance at Good Good Golf

Sergio Garcia could be another name who might earn a special invitation from the Good Good Team. While no official confirmation has been made, Matt Schraff again hinted at the possibility of Garcia being another name on the roster. A photo posted on Brad Dalke and Garrett Clark’s Instagram story, Garcia could be seen in the frame. This prompted a question on the same.

“I mean, yeah, we got some possible really cool content coming out with Sergio here. It’s his home course, and I mean, you know, look out. We might have some really cool stuff coming with Sergio,” Schraff said.

Barton Creek, in Austin, is going to host the championship. Garcia, as it’s known, has one of his homes down there, which gives him an added advantage. He also plays regularly in nearby courses like Spanish Oaks and Austin Golf Club. Garcia carries his own share of controversy.

His failure to meet the minimum DP World Tour event requirement in 2025 means he will lose his membership for 2026. Moreover, his withdrawal from the Amgen Irish Open, after not making the Ryder Cup this year, did not help his case. He is still a part of LIV, and if he does end up collaborating with the Good Good team, for the championship or just for a video, eyebrows will definitely be raised.
