has mocked banned star Wesley Bryan by claiming that he will ask his brother George to caddie for him at an upcoming event. Bryan is after playing in a tournament sanctioned by .

The 2017 RBC Heritage champion is a pioneer of the YouTube golf scene. Despite warnings from the PGA Tour that he faced a ban for playing in The Duels, Bryan signed up to take part in the content creator event. It is backed by LIV Golf, with PGA Tour stars risking punishment if they play in a LIV tournament. Bryan is appealing the decision on the grounds that it is not a regular LIV Golf event.

While playing a round with another golf YouTuber, Grant Horvat, Scheffler brought up the situation. Horvat also played in the LIV Golf event but is featuring in the Barracuda Championship, a PGA Tour tournament, later this summer due to a sponsorship invite.

"I think I'm gonna have Wesley caddie for me too," Horvat joked in the video. Scheffler responded that he would take Bryan's brother George just to wind up the banned PGA Tour star.

The 2024 Masters champion said: "Alright then, I probably wouldn't go. I only know Wesley, but I'd probably take George instead.

"And I say that without really knowing George. Just knowing Wesley. I don't have a strong opinion either way, but it's just a good opportunity to hate on Wesley a little bit. Now that he's got some extra time on his hands, he'll probably watch this video."

Last month, Bryan explained that he had been banned and would be exercising his right to appeal. "I have been suspended by the PGA Tour. It's been a difficult few weeks for us. It's been an emotional roller coaster for sure for everybody in this cart," the American said on his Bryan Bros channel, which he hosts with George.

"All we've ever wanted to do from the Bryan Bros is be able to merge professional and YouTube golf. And this (The Duels) was going to be one of those opportunities we've been dreaming of since we got into YouTube golf.

"I want to be clear, I do respect the authorities that are in place at the tour, but because of the ambiguity in the rules and regulations that were written, I do, as a member of the PGA Tour, have a right to appeal their decision of which I plan on exercising.

"And I don't feel like when the rule was written it was meant to cover content creation on YouTube. I feel like it was meant to cover organised, professional, high-level golf events."
