Harold Varner III was refreshingly open about the reasons he chose to leave the PGA Tour and join LIV Golf. He noted that his family, and more importantly, his foundation, would benefit from this “financial success.”
The 32-year old will have more money after 54 holes this weekend just outside of the nation’s capitol.
Varner won his first event with LIV Golf in 2023 at Trump National, a suburb of Sterling, Virginia, on Sunday. The North Carolina native won by one stroke over Branden Grace and took home $4 million as the winner.
Mito Pereira was third with 10 under par, while Sebastian Munoz finished T-4 on 8 under. Andy Ogletree finished T-6 on Crushers GC as a replacement for Paul Casey.

Brooks Koepka won the PGA Championship and his Smash GC was the only team to finish above par. Koepka finished T-12 with 5 under on the leaderboard.
The league will return to action on June 30th and July 2nd at Valderrama, Spain.
