re: Why did the PGA Tour not pair the Bryan Bros together?

They’re in back to back pairings. The exemption played perfectly because Wesley qualified with his 2nd place finish a few weeks ago, George making the cut in Bermuda, George playing well at the Q, and this tournament being in their home state. I predicted he would get a sponsors exemption right after he lost in that playoff for a spot. Not pairing them together isn’t strange IMO
