LIV pro Harold Varner III responds to course that kicked him out after dispute

Harold Varner III, a LIV professional golfer, was asked to leave Bear Slide Golf Club in Cicero, Indiana, after a dispute over the group's playing arrangement. According to Bear Slide Golf Club, Varner and his group had booked a foursome but arrived 30 minutes late with six golfers. The club accommodated the change but requested they play in two threesomes, as sixsomes are against their policy. However, Varner's group insisted on playing as a sixsome, despite repeated instructions not to.

The club stated that Varner's group disregarded their rules, and after four holes, they were asked to leave. Bear Slide Golf Club also refuted Varner's version of events, which was shared on social media, although it could not be found. The club described an incident where one of Varner's group members told the starter he was being rude, while another defended the starter, saying he was just enforcing the rules.

Varner disputes Bear Slide Golf Club's account of the events. The incident occurred last Tuesday, ahead of the LIV finale in Indianapolis.
