FORT WORTH, Texas – It’s an uncomfortable position for Harold Varner III to be in, as he’s been thrust into the role of unofficial PGA Tour spokesperson for an entire race during an extremely difficult time.
A post last week on his social media account gave a glimpse into the 29-year-old’s thoughts on the racial divide in the United States, and on Tuesday, as he prepared for the game’s return to competition at the Charles Schwab Challenge, he was again asked his thoughts on race and injustice.
“I've been helped by every type of race possible, and then it was all of a sudden, 'Harold should say something because he's black,'” he explained.
