On Thursday night, LIV Golf member Harold Varner III was arrested for driving “while subject to an impairing substance” 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.
