PGA Tour golfer Wesley Bryan was involved in a war of words with a former winner ahead of the Creator Classic.

In case you have absolutely no idea what the Creator Classic is then let us quickly fill you in.

Ahead of the Tour Championship, 16 influencers will go head-to-head in a first-of-its-kind event.

The competitors will play the back nine at East Lake on Wednesday.

The tournament is part of the PGA Tour's drive to try and reach new audiences.

Bryan, who is the younger brother of George Bryan and part of the Bryan Bros YouTube channel, is the favourite to win given he plays regularly on the PGA Tour.

His only PGA Tour victory to date came at the 2017 RBC Heritage.

Injuries have stalled his career somewhat, although he showed that there's still something left in the tank when he finished runner-up to Billy Horschel in the Dominican Republic in April.

Still, according to former winner Chris Couch, he should be 'embarrassed' if he doesn't win.

The 2006 Zurich Classic of New Orleans champ made the claim on X.

"You should be embarrassed for thinking you are still cool on twitter," came Wesley's reply.

Couch, now 51, replied: "What the f--- are you even talking about?

"You're a professional golfer playing against a bunch of YouTubers. If you don’t win, you should be embarrassed."

Then George got involved.

"It's also kinda embarrassing that my made cut percentage as a full time YouTube content creator is better than yours was as a full time PGA Tour player," he wrote.

"And no, I don't want to play you in a match because I don't want to give you strokes."

The Content Creator classic begins on Wednesday at 4pm ET.

It will be streamed on the PGA Tour's official YouTube page.
