England's Ian Poulter said he might not compete in this year's Ryder Cup even if he qualifies. The 47-year-old, nicknamed "Mr Ryder Cup" for his exploits in previous editions for the European team, joined the LIV Golf series in June, jeopardising his involvement in the biennial contest.
The U.S.-based PGA Tour has suspended those who joined the rebel circuit.Yet the DP World Tour, formerly the European Tour, is awaiting a legal hearing in February that will effectively decide whether it can sanction players who defected to LIV, or whether they can continue to compete and qualify for the Ryder Cup.
Poulter has won several titles on both the major tours and cited age as a factor in his decision to sign up for the LIV Series. "I would love to qualify.
Whether I play or not would be a different thing," Poulter told Sky Sports."I certainly don't expect to get one of the six (captain's) picks.
