Ian Poulter is not having such a great season, and it seems that he is close to relegation at LIV Golf. The English golfer did not excel this year, being far from the standard he set. His best result, T13 in Korea, did not cause positive reactions in the public, and now there are many questions about the future of the experienced Englishman.
It is important to point out that starting this season, LIV Golf has eliminated the immunity previously granted to captains. This means that even players like Poulter can be relegated from the league if they do not finish within the top 48.
In other words, if an experienced golfer finishes outside the top 48, they will be excluded from the league, regardless of whether they are a team captain.
Social media post
The performance in Chicago further heated up the atmosphere and awakened frustrations in Ian, who reacted via social media after the tournament.
Finishing as T39 in the last tournament, Poulter is aware that he is in a difficult situation, and his message on social media clearly shows how the experienced golfer feels.
"Over and out," Poulter wrote on his Instagram stories.
"Seven birdies today but a load of s— as well for a -1 70."
Dean Burmester showed the necessary quality in this tournament, triumphing in fierce competition and a tough fight. The only thing that remains for Poulter is optimism, aware that only the performance in Indianapolis can save him.
The experienced Englishman has put a huge focus on this tournament, which will determine his future, and there is no doubt that the Englishman will do everything to remain part of the controversial league.
Does the post on social media indicate that Ian has given up or does it indicate something else?
As a man who has left a serious mark on the world of golf, it is clear that Poulter is experiencing the biggest crisis in his career.
Whether he can pull himself out of this, time will tell, but it all depends on him and his desire.
