LIV Golf star Ian Poulter delivers brutal PGA and DP World Tour verdict

Ian Poulter has confessed that there's "not a lot to miss" about the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, two years after his transition to LIV Golf.

Poulter was one of the big names to jump ship to LIV in 2022 , joining the initial wave of defectors including Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson. Like his fellow LIV stars, Poulter's move resulted in a suspension from the PGA Tour.

The switch also cost him his place on his home tour, as he resigned his DP World Tour membership after being fined and suspended for participating in 'conflicting' LIV events. Despite the repercussions, it seems the Ryder Cup veteran is quite content with his decision.

"What do I miss about DP World Tour and PGA Tour? Well, there's not a lot I miss," he shared with Golf Monthly. "I'm doing the same thing I was doing on LIV. The format change is different, obviously."

However, Poulter did admit that he misses the players he used to compete with on his former tours. "I do miss some friends," he conceded.

"The guy you would have seen for 20 weeks a year, which obviously you don't really see them anymore. So that probably the only thing I would say I miss."

Poulter is one of 15 captains on the LIV roster, co-captaining the Majesticks alongside two of his former Ryder Cup teammates, Lee Westwood and Henrik Stenson. Like Poulter, Westwood and Stenson have also relinquished their memberships with the DP World Tour.

The most significant consequence of their departure is the loss of eligibility to play for Europe in the Ryder Cup. Players must be members of the Wentworth-based circuit to qualify. While their time as part of the 12-man team may be over, there's no question that all three would have had a role off the green.

Henrik Stenson was set to lead as the European captain for the 2023 Ryder Cup but lost his position after his move to LIV Golf. As talks of a truce between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and LIV Golf surface, Ian Poulter has accepted that his Ryder Cup days are likely done due to the controversy.

"Too much happened last time," Poulter reflected to Gulf News earlier this year. "Too much was said and that's extremely disappointing from my perspective with the way certain people were treated and spoken about with reference to the Ryder Cup, especially when certain people have committed a lot of their life to work extremely hard for that product."

"So, the way it stands right now, with the current people that run that level of the organisation, things would have to change for me to be involved. That's from an everything perspective, I'm not needed, they didn't need me last time."
