Beyond the course: Harold Varner III talks life on the road and time with MJ

Golfweek spoke with star Harold Varner III about life on the Tour, the lessons he’s learned and even his time with Michael Jordan.

What’s it like being on the PGA Tour?

Golfweek and USA TODAY Sports spoke with star Harold Varner III about life on the Tour, the lessons he’s learned and even his time with Michael Jordan. Varner was promoting his relationship with Cutwater Spirits and its newest canned cocktail, Vodka Transfusion.

Varner, who was born in Akron, Ohio, but grew up in the Charlotte suburb of Gaston, N.C., keeps inching toward his first victory. He was T-2 at the RBC Heritage earlier this season and keeps improving his Strokes Gained: Putting.

Varner’s response on breaking through and getting his first victory — why not think big, like his buddy MJ would do?

“One win would be cool, but it would be cool to, like, win a major,” he said.
