Do you know what hotel he is staying at? If so, try calling the front desk. Until he sees a physician, you will be left unsure. Hope you are able to contact him.

If he hasn't called anyone back can you call his hotel to have someone check on him in his room? He probably will just be sound asleep, but if there is a real problem the hotel staff could get help for him.
My parents are saying if they don't hear by tonight, they'll call the hotel. They're being very calm about this situation...wish I could be.

Also, thanks everyone for your input! A lot of different takes going around--hoping for the best for him.
If it is very unusual for him to not call you back, you can also check with officials at the golf tournament, call the hospitals in that city or even call the police in that city to search for his car (if he is not in his hotel room).
Again, it is probably minor, but just in case, you can do more than just calling/texting his phone (what if he lost the phone or something).

It isn't a big deal to call the hotel and have them check on him. What's the worse that could happen? Your brother could be sound asleep and be totally OK or in bed (not asleep) with someone he met in that city.
What's the best that could happen? Your brother may be sick and need help and the hotel finds him and calls a doctor.

So, no one is checking on him.

Either way, why wait?
This. Takes less than 5 minutes and all is good if he's OK. If he's not, more time has not lapsed while all the dithering goes on.
My text that I sent to my brother was, "I'm sorry you're not feeling well. If you need some company you can text me later or tomorrow."
No response to that, and it has been a day since I sent that text. Do I need to just call him myself, too?
To be fair, if I received that text, I would not think that the sender was necessarily expecting a response. You said "IF you need some company ..." Very possibly he doesn't need company, hence no reply.
If you wanted a response, you should have said something like "Please let me know that you're okay so I don't worry."
How old are you op? Is there some reason you just can't take charge of the situation instead of wringing your hands and waiting for your parents to do something?
He has finally gotten back to us! Turns out he slept the rest of the day away yesterday and had been taking it easy. His phone had died and he didn't have the energy to get it to the charger. He's apologized to us all for worrying us.
Thank you to everyone who replied! I know this is the Internet and all...one of those moments you don't know where to turn.
