Harold Varner III has a smile that lights up the room. He’s relatable, he looks people in the eye and he loves to laugh and keep things light. Now aged 31, his nearly seven years on the PGA Tour have brought both ups and downs, but one thing’s for sure: Varner is hungry for success. He’s tasted the thick of a Major Sunday in the final group with Brooks Koepka and he recently recorded his most high-profile win at the Saudi International with an unforgettable 92-foot eagle putt on the 18th. The next step is a PGA Tour victory and he’s determined to make that happen sooner rather than later…
How do you look back on your early PGA Tour years?
I was just playing golf, and little did I know that I was playing some of the best golf of my life. It was nuts, and it went by fast. The greatest year was the one when I almost lost my card [2016/17] because so much life happened. My wife lost her brother, it was just super high to low. I won the Australian PGA and came back and we were celebrating, and I found out while we were celebrating. I wasn’t a man then; I wasn’t able to handle that life isn’t fair.
When you’re little, your parents keep some life stuff away from you, like bills or whatever. You’re in your own little cloud, you’re with your boys. You might get a butt whopping for not being home on time or doing something stupid, but in reality they put a cloud around you.

Is it Time for the Presidents Cup to Be Scrapped? - The next instalment of the USA v Internationals match takes place in Canada at the end of September. But should the one-sided affair continue?
The next instalment of the USA v Internationals match takes place in Canada at the end of September. But should the one-sided affair continue? Why would anyone even suggest such a drastic course of action? It may sound harsh, but since the inaugural event in 1994, the International team has managed just one victory and one tie while the American team has won 12 times, including nine straight from 2005. It is 26 years since the International team's solitary success in 1998 at Royal Melbourne under the captaincy of the late Peter Thomson.
