The killing of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis last week, and the national protests that followed, have led many of the biggest stars from the NBA, NHL, NFL and MLB to use their platform to speak out against police brutality. One notable PGA Tour pro joined them on Monday.
Harold Varner III, in his fifth season on tour and one of just two African Americans (along with Tiger Woods) inside the top 200 on the Official World Golf Ranking, wrote a two-page statement that he shared via social media. The 29-year-old explained that he didn't say something sooner not out of indifference, but because he wanted to first gather his thoughts before writing them down.
