skills challenge for charity
HILTON
HEAD ISLAND, S.C., April 14,
2022 /PRNewswire/ - At the 2022 RBC Heritage,
South Carolina's Dustin Johnson went up against North Carolina's Harold Varner III in a friendly game to test
their golf skills. After a series of fun challenges that drew a
large crowd of spectators, Harold Varner
III came out on top, winning a $10,000 donation from RBC, half of which will go
to the HV3 Foundation, and the other half to the Heritage Classic
Foundation.
"The RBC Heritage is always a great opportunity to have fun
with the playful North
Carolina-South Carolina
rivalry on Team RBC," said Shannon
Cole, Vice-President, Brand Marketing, RBC. "It
was so entertaining to watch DJ and Harold face off, and even
better to have Harold Varner III
dedicate his win to charity."
Johnson and Varner III participated in three challenges: Flop
Shot, Carolinas Trivia and Cornhole.
"Participating in the Carolinas Challenge is just one example
of the exciting opportunities I have as being part of Team
RBC," said Harold Varner III,
Team RBC ambassador. "Not only was it a fun competition
against my fellow Team RBC player, Dustin
Johnson, but being able to dedicate the winnings to my
foundation and the Heritage Classic Foundation makes this win extra
special."
Varner III became the Carolinas Challenge champion by winning
two of the three challenges – flop shot and Carolinas trivia –
along with long putt as the tie-breaker after Johnson won in
cornhole for double-or-nothing.
"Even though I didn't bring home a win for South Carolina, I had a lot of fun competing
against my fellow Team RBC player, Harold
Varner III," said Dustin
Johnson, Team RBC ambassador. "I'm looking
forward to a rematch and until then, I'll be practicing my long
putt!"
