LIV Golf's Harold Varner III called a 'greedy b*st**d' by troll, sarcastically thanks him in return

Harold Varner III thanked an online troll after the netizen called the LIV golfer a "greedy b*st*rd." He switched to LIV Golf in 2022 after the golfer signed a deal of $15 million. Since then, the golfer finished three seasons in the breakaway league and is playing his fourth season in 2025.

Recently, an online troll made a comment about Varner III that the golfer couldn't beat the best on the PGA Tour, so he took the LIV Golf money and defected. The troll’s words were:

“You used to be a household name now you are just another greedy b*st**d that can't beat the best so you took the money and ran!!”
