HV3’s first pro event was the 2012 Chiquita Classic of the Korn Ferry Tour, where he unfortunately missed the cut, ending the year at 1449th position in the Official World Golf Rankings.

The fiery golfer did not have the meteroic rise he hoped for but made slow and steady progress which saw him jump to the 581st spot in 2014 after finishing 23 events.

Harold’s first win came in 2016 at the Australian PGA Championship, and he had to wait another six years before winning another major event–the 2022 PIF Saudi International.

Harold has also finished in the top 10 in the following tours:

  • Panama Claro Championship: 2015

As an East Carolina University, Harold was named Conference USA Player of the Year in 2012, finished in the top 10 in 18 college events, and made the all-conference team no less than three times.

Harold Varner Wife– Who Is She?

Amanda Singleton has been the luckly lady at Harold Varner’s side since his college days.

They met in an accounting class while both attending Carolina University. Amanda was struck by Harold’s confidence and the rest is pro golfing history.

Amanda, a real estate agent, and Harold got married on 26 September 2020, despite the Covid pandemic.

In October 2021, the newly-weds welcomed Harold William Varner IV, also known as Liam and introduced him to the world via HV3’s Instagram account.

While she doesn’t attend many golf events, Amanda has caddied for Harold at the 2022 Par 3 Contest at The Masters, with little Liam in attendance.

Accomplishments

From his first winnings of $13,199 in the 2013-14 season to a yearly average of $1 million, Harold Varner III has come a long way. He has yet to win a major PGA championship title but has some notable milestones toward his career goals:

  • 2022: Partnered with Bubba Watson for a T4 finish at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
  • 2021: Qualified for the FedExCup Playoffs for the sixth season in a row.
  • 2015: Played and finished all 25 Korn Ferry Tour season tournaments.

What Clubs Are in the Bag?

So, what does it take to win the Australian PGA Championship and the PIF Saudi International?

Let’s see what Harold swings with when he’s having fun on the fairway:

  • Driver: Titleist TSi3 (10 degrees) with Project X HZRDUS Smoke Green 6.5 shaft
  • 3-wood: Titleist TSi2 (15 degrees) with Project X HZRDUS Smoke RDX TX shaft
  • 7-wood: Titleist TSi2 (21 degrees) with Fujikura Ventus Black shaft
  • Irons: Srixon ZX7 (4-PW) all with TrueTemper Dynamic Gold X100 shafts
  • Wedges: Ping Glide Prototype (50, 54, 58)
  • Putter: Odyssey White Hot OG 7 S
  • Ball: 2021 Titleist Pro V1x

Hopefully, these clubs survive Amanda’s car trunk better than Harold’s 2018 set.

Who Is Harold’s Caddy?

Harold Varner has worked with two caddies since his pro beginnings: Ray Farnell and Chris Rice.

Ray Farnell worked with Harold for four years, after what was meant to be a single week to help out a young Varner at the Australian PGA in 2014.

In early 2021, Harold joined forces with Chris Rice who has previously caddied for Tyrrell Hatton.

Chris himself is a record-breaking winner, participating in the 2021 Players Championship Caddie Competition and hitting the closest shot to the pin at the 17th hole of the Stadium Course.

Let’s hope that this partnership brings both Harold and Chris more wins in the years to come.

How Is His 2022 Looking?

The first half of 2022 got off to a bang with Harold’s win at the PIF Saudi International.

THe world’s Number 38 has only missed the cut at two events this year:

  • the Genesis Invitational
  • the WM Phoenix Open

His Favourite Athletes

As a teenager, Harold saw Tiger Woods perform and after the event, plotted and planned where to stand in order for Woods to sign his hat.

Harold waited at a strategic spot only for Woods to autograph an item for the person standing next to Harold, and walk away with a second look at the young HV3.

Varner revealed that he cried for three days and when he recounted this tale to Tiger years later, Tiger theorised that this snub might have been the reason for Varner’s subsequent success and appearances at the PGA Tour. Harold has his doubts…
