Ian James Poulter (born 10 January 1976) is an Englishprofessional golfer who plays in theLIV Golf League. He has previously been ranked as high as number 5 in the world rankings. The highlights of Poulter's career to date have been his twoWorld Golf Championship wins at the2010 WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship and the2012 WGC-HSBC Champions, as well as being part of fiveRyder Cup winning European teams. He is the touring professional forWoburn Golf and Country Club.[2]

Early life

[edit]

Born inHitchin, and raised inStevenage,[3] Poulter took up the game at the age of four when his single-handicap father, Terry, gave him a cut-down 3-wood. His older brother Danny is also aprofessional golfer.[4] Unable to get a place as a pro at aprivate club, he became the assistant pro and golf shop manager at the Chesfield Downs Golf Club.[5] There he was forced by his boss to pay a full green fee every time he wanted to play in a competition. His handicap hence stayed at four, because he did not play in competitions. Following this period, Poulter joined as Assistant Pro at Leighton Buzzard golf course, giving lessons to youngsters at £1 per lesson.[6] He is an avid fan of football clubArsenal.[7]

Professional career

[edit]

In 1996, Poulter turned professional. He earned his first win at the 1999Open de Côte d'Ivoire on the European Tour's second tierChallenge Tour. He won promotion to the European Tour itself via thequalifying school later that year. In his first season, he claimed theItalian Open title and was theSir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year for 2000. Further wins followed in each of the next four seasons, most prestigiously the season ending "tour championship" theVolvo Masters in 2004. He was in the top ten on the Order of Merit in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2009, 2010 and 2012. In 2013, he finished 2nd on the Order of Merit, his highest placing so far. After narrowly missing a place in the 2002 EuropeanRyder Cup team, Poulter was a member of the victorious squad in 2004, where he officially scored the winning points for his team.[8]

At the2008 Masters Tournament, Poulter made a hole-in-one at the 16th hole atAugusta National in the first round. At the2008 Open Championship, Poulter had the clubhouse lead on the last round before being beaten by defending championPádraig Harrington. In the2008 Ryder Cup, Poulter was the highest points scorer on either side as he scored 4 of Europe's 11.5 points. Europe lost the Ryder Cup 16.5–11.5. In the 2009Players Championship, he finished in sole possession of second place at eight under-par, four shots behind the winner,Henrik Stenson. In November 2009, Poulter won theBarclays Singapore Open at theSentosa Club.[9] He moved into the top-10 of theOfficial World Golf Ranking in January 2010 with a second-place finish at theAbu Dhabi Golf Championship.[10]

In February 2010, he won his first tournament on U.S. soil, beating fellow EnglishmanPaul Casey 4&2 in the final of theWGC-Accenture Match Play Championship inArizona.[11] The win moved him to 5th in the world rankings.[12] His ranking gained Poulter a place in the2010 Ryder Cup in September atCeltic Manor in Wales He won 3 points in the 4 matches he played in the European team's win by 14.5 points to 13.5. In November 2010, he won his second title of the year with a one-stroke victory in theUBS Hong Kong Open.[13]

Poulter at the 2013Open de France

On 23 February 2011, inMarana, Arizona, Poulter became the first defending champion in nine years to be eliminated in the first round of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. He did however enjoy greater success in the European Tour's own match play event, theVolvo World Match Play Championship where he won the title beating Ryder Cup teammateLuke Donald, 2&1, in the final. He had previously beaten the world number oneLee Westwood,Francesco Molinari andNicolas Colsaerts to get to the final. This was Poulter's second tournament win in a match play event and eleventh European Tour victory.[14] Poulter was one ofJosé María Olazábal's two "captains picks" for the European Team at the2012 Ryder Cup. He won all the 4 matches he played over the three days of the event, and was a key figure in sparking his team's victory by 14.5 points to 13.5.[15]

On 4 November 2012, Poulter won the secondWorld Golf Championship of his career at theWGC-HSBC Champions inShenzhen, China, coming from four strokes back in the final round to win by two from four other players. He shot a final round of 65 which included 8 birdies in his first 15 holes to seize control and despite a late bogey, closed out the victory by two strokes. He became only the second European to have won multiple WGC events, afterDarren Clarke. The victory took Poulter to 15th in the rankings.[16]

At the 2015Honda Classic on thePGA Tour, Poulter had a three shot lead going into the final round of the rain delayed event. However he had a disastrous four-over-par final round of 74, where he found the water five times, included twice on the 14th hole which cost him a triple bogey. Poulter would finish in a tie for third, one shot outside of the playoff, which was won byPádraig Harrington. It was his first 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour and he never would win a non-WGC PGA Tour event until 2018. In the same year, Poulter was in a predicament. He fell to 51st in the OWGR and was not exempt for theWGC-HSBC Champions, and had failed to enter theUBS Hong Kong Open. He was also at risk of losing his European Tour card since he had only played in 12 events, one short of membership and Ryder Cup eligibility. He only earned entry to the Hong Kong Open afterRich Beem gave up his sponsor exemption to allow Poulter to compete.[17]

In March 2016, Poulter held the 54-hole lead at thePuerto Rico Open, an alternate event on the PGA Tour. He led by one stroke entering the final round, but shot an even-par round which included just the one birdie, to finish in a tie for third, one stroke outside of the playoff. This was only the second time that Poulter had held a 54-hole lead in an event on the PGA Tour and he has yet to win one. The result was however his best on tour for over a year.

On 3 June 2016, Poulter was ruled out of the upcoming Ryder Cup after being sidelined for four months with a foot injury.[18] Only three days later, he was named by captainDarren Clarke as one of his vice-captains for the match.[19]

Poulter at the2018 U.S. Open

Poulter started the 2016–17 season using a major medical extension. He initially failed to meet the terms, but his results and criteria were reevaluated, allowing Poulter to keep his Tour card for the remainder of the season.[20] The Golf Channel website also mentioned thatBrian Gay (who was also playing on a major medical extension) noted a discrepancy in the points distribution from the previous season. After recalculating, Gay and Poulter were also allowed entry into the2017 Players Championship after meeting theFedEx Cup requirements.[21] Poulter went on to finish T2 at The Players, three shots behindKim Si-woo.

During the 2018WGC-Match Play, Poulter was informed by members of the media that his advancement to the quarterfinals would place him in the top-50 in the World Golf Rankings, ensuring his place in the Masters' field two weeks later. It was later determined that he would need to advance to the semifinals to crack the top-50, which he was unable to do, losing heavily toKevin Kisner in the quarterfinals.[22]

The following week, Poulter won theHouston Open, claiming his third victory on the PGA Tour and first stroke play tournament win in the United States. Poulter won in a sudden-death playoff, after holing a lengthy birdie putt on the final green of regulation play to tieBeau Hossler. In the playoff, Poulter won with a par, after Hossler found the water and made a triple bogey. This was Poulter's first win in six years on any tour and also sealed his place in the Masters the following week as the final entrant.[22] He finished T44 at the event. Then playing his sixth week in a row, Poulter held the 54-hole lead at theRBC Heritage. He faded in the final round though, shooting a 75 and finishing T7.

In September 2018, Poulter was named as a captain's pick byThomas Bjørn for the European team participating in the2018 Ryder Cup. Europe defeated the United States team by 17½ points to 10½ atLe Golf National outside of Paris, France. Poulter went 2–2–0 and won his singles match against then world number oneDustin Johnson.[23] In September 2021, Poulter was a captain's pick byPádraig Harrington for the European team in the2021 Ryder Cup atWhistling Straits inKohler, Wisconsin. The U.S. team won 19–9 and Poulter went 1–2–0 and won his Sunday singles match againstTony Finau.

Poulter was announced as a participant of the inauguralLIV Golf Invitational Series tournament at theCenturion Club near London in June 2022, with his PGA Tour and European Tour memberships being suspended.[2] His fine and suspension on the European Tour were temporarily lifted in July, pending a court case set for February 2023. After those sanctions were upheld by the independent arbitrator, in May 2023, the European Tour announced that he had resigned his membership of the tour.[24]

  2. ^Shortened to 54 holes due to weather.

  8. ^Colin Montgomerie is widely credited as having holed the winning putt, although Ian Poulter birdied on the 15th hole of his match to guarantee a half-point and so mathematically win the Ryder Cup seconds before Montgomerie. This was commentated on by course commentators andBBC Radio 5 Live, whose Golf correspondentIan Coulter recalled in theNews of the World: "My editor said Poulter was three up seconds before Monty hit his putt. Then Colin's putt went in – you can imagine the situation. To have over-ruled his achievement would have been like trying to deny Alan Shearer a goal that went in off a defender." "This man won us Ryder Cup – not Monty"News of the World (London); 26 September 2004; Geoff Sweet; p. 75. Frank Keating ofThe Guardian also noted this chain of events, writing "radio logged the fact that it was not Montgomerie's putt which actually clinched the cup but Poulter's, a matter of seconds before and a few holes behind." "Golf, Cricket: Notes from the touchline"The Guardian (Manchester); 24 Sep 2004; Frank Keating; p. 34. Notwithstanding, Poulter was still in aDormie position at this time (3 holes up with 3 to play) and players in this position can still be disqualified and thus lose their match. A similar situation took place2 years later.
