Bond Set at $500, Varner Registers .16 BAC
Professional golfer Harold Varner III has been charged with driving while impaired, with his bond set at $500. According to records from Mecklenburg District Court, Varner registered a .16 blood alcohol concentration (BAC) after being administered a breath test. Representatives for Varner have yet to respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Varner’s Recent Success and Financial Decision
Varner, who won his first LIV event earlier this year and claimed a $4 million prize, made headlines when he announced his decision to join a rival circuit in 2022. In his announcement, Varner openly acknowledged the financial implications of his choice, stating, “The truth is, my life is changing. The opportunity to join LIV Golf is simply too good of a financial breakthrough for me to pass by. This money is going to ensure that my kid and future Varners will have a solid base to start on and a life I could have only dreamt about growing up. It’ll also help fund many of the programs I’m building with my Foundation. I’ll continue to forge pathways for kids interested in golf. This note is a receipt for that” in a message shared on Instagram.
Varner emphasized that despite this decision, he remains true to himself and unchanged, promising, “Your opinion of me may have changed because of this announcement. No lie, that’ll be a tough thing to deal with. But I haven’t changed – I’m still me. I promise you that.”
Legal Proceedings and Future Court Date
After his arrest, Varner was later released and is scheduled to appear in court on January 19. For further updates, follow Fox News Digital’s coverage and consider subscribing to their news service.
