According to a report from TV station WBTV, LIV Golf member Harold Varner III was arrested for driving “while subject to an impairing substance” on Thursday night in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Varner III registered a .16 blood alcohol concentration during a breathalyzer test, which is twice the legal driving limit. Around 7:30 p.m. ET, Varner III was booked into the Mecklenburg County jail. His bond was set at $500. According to court records, he posted bail and has been released.
Varner III is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 19, 2024.
Last season, the then-RangeGoats GC member — Varner III was traded to Dustin Johnson’s 4Aces GC this offseason — won LIV’s D.C. stop in May. In 13 starts, Varner III finished inside the top 10 five times and finished seventh in the season-long individual competition.
