Representatives for Varner have not yet commented on the situation.Varner had previously won his first LIV event earlier this year in Washington, D.C., earning a $4 million prize. When he announced his decision to join the rival circuit, Varner openly acknowledged the financial benefits of his choice. In a message shared on Instagram, he stated that the opportunity was a "financial breakthrough" that would provide a better life for his family and support his foundation's programs for children interested in golf.
Varner was released after his arrest and is scheduled to appear in court on January 19. It remains to be seen how this incident will impact his career and public perception. However, Varner assured his followers that he remained the same person despite his decision to switch circuits. The news of Varner's arrest comes as Viktor Hovland, another PGA Tour player, criticized the organization's leadership as the deadline for players to commit to LIV Golf approaches.
