Some highlights from this episode:

  • Varner just became a father for the first time in October when his son Liam was born. He shares with Garrett what life has been like since then. Varner is amazed by how quickly as a parent you become in tune to your child's needs and do things for them without a second thought
  • Varner makes it clear how winning on the PGA Tour is his No. 1 goal. "I haven't done it. I'm sure every interview this year will be 'Are you ready to win?' and I'll answer that professionally, but deep down inside I'll be like, 'no sh-- I'm ready to win, bro!' 
  • The seventh-year Tour pro also gets into how he views his role as an African-American on the PGA Tour and how he wants to inspire not just Black kids, but kids of all colors with his play. "At the end of the day, the scoreboard doesn't read color, it reads numbers," Varner said.
  • His passion to give kids opportunities to play golf and the impact his HV3 Foundation has
  • His experience playing in the final group with Brooks Koepka on the Sunday of the 2019 PGA Championship.
