Lee Westwood criticises ‘hypocrites’ over LIVPoulter hopeful of being Ryder Cup captain in future
Ian Poulter has made plain his belief that golf’s leading executives cannot continue in position if LIV players are to be properly assimilated back into the traditional tours. Poulter answered “yes” when asked whether heads must roll in the sport’s corridors of power before peace can break out. Poulter’s longtime Ryder Cup teammate Lee Westwood has criticised “hypocrisy” in its upper echelons.
The announcement last month that a framework agreement is in place between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) – which backs LIV – triggered the prospect of Poulter and others returning to former playing domains. At the Centurion Club in Hertfordshire – where LIV returns this weekend – Poulter explained why that situation is not straightforward. LIV golfers have long memories.
