The boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson took over social media last night, with millions tuning in to watch the YouTube-star-turned-boxer take on one of the sport’s GOATs. That included Wesley Bryan.
On Saturday, Bryan shot a course-record-tying 10-under 61 during the third round of the 2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship at Port Royal Golf Course. The 34-year-old was up well into Saturday morning to watch the Netflix-run exhibition.

“I’ll be honest, woke up this morning on very, very little sleep,” he said after signing his card. “Stayed up for the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson match and that didn’t finish until about, shoot, 2:00 in the morning. It was one of those spectacle events that I just felt I needed to watch.”
Limited sleep had no impact on Bryan’s game, as he made six birdies and two eagles on his way to a bogey-free 61.
He’ll have a chance to earn his first PGA Tour win since the 2017 RBC Heritage on Sunday.
