Ian Poulter has hinted he could well turn down the chance to represent Team Europe at this year's Ryder Cup, even if he earns a place. Poulter is one the event's greatest players, having delivered time and time again for the Europeans.
This glittering legacy has been somewhat tarnished over the past year though, after the Englishman joined the controversial LIV Golf Series last summer. It still remains unknown as to whether LIV members will be able to compete on either side in Rome in September.
This comes after European golf bosses sacked former captain Henrik Stenson after he chose to follow in the footsteps of Poulter and co by joining the Saudi-backed circuit.
