Ian Poulter to rile fellow pros by playing in Europe between Saudi-backed LIV events

Ian Poulter is set to follow his controversial appearance at the Genesis Scottish Open with more scheduled appearances on the DP World Tour this summer.

British star Poulter is one of three golfers to defect to the breakaway LIV tour, which is bankrolled by the Saudi regime notorious for human rights abuses, and successfully appeal their suspensions from the Scottish Open, which begins on Thursday. The decision was made by Sport Resolutions (UK) and upheld the appeal made by Poulter along with Adrian Otaegui and Justin Harding against their ban.

The body also upheld the appeal against two further co-sanctioned tournaments with the PGA Tour as well as their individual fines of £100,000. LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman had already announced that the Saudi-backed series would cover any fines issued to their golfers who had left the PGA Tour and DP World Tour.
