LIV Golf rebel Ian Poulter feels the game has ‘changed for the good’, as he eyes his maiden major championship success at this week’s Open. Poulter’s name has been prevalent in recent months following his recent switch to the Saudi-backed tour.
He, alongside fellow European stars Lee Westwood and Sergio Garcia and marquee PGA Tour names Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson, made the move in June, ahead of the breakaway circuit’s inaugural event at the Centurion Club in St Albans.
The LIV Golf Series has been at the centre of the sport’s recent shift away from its usual traditions, after offering a somewhat controversial platform for the world’s top golfers, away from the long-established PGA and DP World Tours. The new circuit has undoubtedly caused a stir within the sport, splitting the opinion of golf’s elite.
