Varner III catapults to make BMW; Garcia, Wolff among those out of playoffs

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – With one fewer playoff event and more points available, this year’s postseason was billed as a more volatile version, and The Northern Trust didn’t disappoint.

In total, four players moved into the top 70 and advanced to next week’s BMW Championship led by Harold Varner III, who made the week’s biggest jump from 102nd on the points list to 29th.

“My second year on Tour [2017], I was in the same position where I had a hard chance of keeping my card and I got through the next one,” said Varner, who closed with a 68 to finish tied for third at The Northern Trust.
