Ian Poulter won’t surrender his PGA Tour membership without a fight.
While several of the notable LIV Golf players suspended by the PGA Tour already had informed the Tour that they were giving up their membership – including Kevin Na, Dustin Johnson and Sergio Garcia – Poulter said on Thursday that he elected not to resign his membership.
When informed that PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan had lived up to his word and suspended 17 players who had “willfully violated its regulations” by playing in this week’s LIV Golf Invitational Series debut near London, Poulter told the media, “I will appeal, for sure. It makes no sense given how I have played the game of golf for all this time. I didn’t resign my membership because I don’t feel I have done anything wrong. I have played all over the world for 25 years. This is no different.
