LIV golfer Ian Poulter recently revealed that he opted out of paying the $2.4 million required to compete in the Ryder Cup. He expressed his confusion over the sanctions placed on LIV Golf players, questioning why playing in LIV events resulted in penalties, while participation in other events was permitted.
Poulter, a seven-time Ryder Cup participant, has been part of five team victories during his career. However, his involvement in the biennial event came to an abrupt halt after he, along with several others, joined LIV Golf.
Initially, all LIV players were banned from both the PGA and European Tours. While players like Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcia have recently regained DP World Tour membership, Poulter remains excluded due to his refusal to pay the required dues.
