Ian Poulter

## **Ian Poulter: The Postman still delivering after three decades at the top** Of all the recruits to LIV Golf since the series began, surely none is more suited to team golf than Ian Poulter. The Englishman has enjoyed a glittering career since turning pro in 1996, with 17 victories around the world. He was a winner of two WGC events, a frequent contender in major championships, and reached the heights of No. 5 in the world rankings in 2010. But it is for his exploits in golf’s most historic team event, the Ryder Cup, that he is best remembered and celebrated by fans of the sport. Poulter earned the nickname The Postman from his European teammates – because he always delivered under the unique pressure of the Ryder Cup. He was unbeaten in singles play in seven Ryder Cup appearances, and brought his own brand of wide-eyed intensity to five teams who won the famous trophy for Europe. Poulter has always played with his heart on his sleeve, and with his emotions never far from the surface. Away from the golf course he is known for his classic car collection, his clothing design company, and his dedicated lifelong support for soccer club Arsenal. Now this endlessly fascinating, multi-faceted character is one of the three captains on the roster of Majesticks GC. He was one of the first players to accept an invitation to LIV Golf when the series launched in 2022, and brings the level of commitment you would expect to do the job of building the brand – while still excited to compete on the golf course.
