Harold Varner III joined LIV Golf more than a year back in 2022 having enjoyed decent success on the PGA and Asian Tours. He was once ranked 35th in the Official World Golf Rankings.
After joining LIV Golf, Varner has enjoyed some excellent results. Last year, he finished seventh playing for the RangeGoats GC. He also emerged victorious in the 2023 LIV Golf Washington DC.
This year, he is playing for 4Aces GC and is in the 38th position.Harold Varner III has thus experienced both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. In a recent interview with Jerry Foltz and Su-Ann Heng on the Fairway to Heaven podcast, he opened up about the difficulty level in LIV Golf in comparison to the PGA Tour.
Varner said:
“I think the level of play for me on the PGA Tour, I felt as if you get in the mix, out here (on LIV Golf), if you don’t come out here and you don’t shoot the grass off for the first day, you’re not winning.
So for me, I developed, like, ‘Kill or be killed.'”
He added that in LIV Golf, players have to secure birdies and don’t have the luxury of waiting for 50 more holes to improve. Varner noted that there wasn’t much time to strategize and plan each move on the course:
“You just don’t have enough golf to be like I plot my way around here. So that’s bogey, like let’s get on it.”
