June 4, 2017 @ 12:30 pm index

It was not a positive experience for Ian Poulter during the RBC Heritage event at Harbour Town held on Sunday where he threw away a chance to take home his first PGA Tour victory since 2012.


However, this was not the worst of it for the Poulter.

Poulter so far has been playing on a medical exemption after he suffered from a foot injury which saw him spend a large chunk of the 2016 season out on the sidelines and off the course.

Golfchannel.comsays to keep his Tour eligibility for the remaining part of the season, Poulter would really need to make $30,624 at the Valero Texas Open. Without this, the Englishman will struggle to get into any Tour events without exemptions from sponsors.

The Ryder Cup Star would have had nothing to worry about if he had finished at least one stroke better on Sunday. This would have ensured he met the earnings goal needed for him to retain his card. (more…)

3.30 AM RISE TIME IS QUITE EARLY – IAN POULTER

February 14, 2017 @ 7:37 am index

At the time when the early groups hauled themselves out of bed on day two, only shift wirkers and restless newborns should have been stirring.


However, that time produced some bountiful returns for the players.

Ian Poulter had said later on that the 3:30 am rise and the 5:30am tee-off had been the earliest so far since he became a professional golfer. However, shooting a 68 at four under that early morning could be said to have been worth the effort.

“I love my bed. Someone who’s half-man/half-mattress does not get out of bed at 3:30am to play golf, let alone to go to an airport to get to a tournament. That was a very early morning; I think that the earliest wake-up call I’ve ever had in 17 years on tour,” Poulter said.

“That was a strange little morning call, I think 3:30 alarm call to come out and play golf is a touch on the early side. But it was light, so we could get out there” he added. (more…)

December 15, 2016 @ 9:23 am index

Ian Poulter would be looking to get back his winning streak at the upcoming Sanderson Farms Championship event.


His comeback has been steady even though he now suffers from arthritis in the right foot. He has been absent from the game for four months since the ailment started to take a toll on the health of this forty year old champion. The field for the championship has been weakened and hence Ian has a fair chance of winning.

In the championship, he would be facing Chris Kirk, who is ranked 74 in the world rankings. Ian Poulter would be facing this event after he suffered an injury and was off the game for some time. The break has been for about four months and has been due to an arthritic joint that has turned up in his right foot. This prevented him from being up for the Ryder Cup. He had been one of the vice captains in Darren Clarke’s team and as luck would have it, Europe team suffered a defeat to US team. (more…)
