Ian Poulter was one of the high-profile names to make the switch from the PGA Tour to LIV Golf back in 2022.
Poulter has undoubtedly been missed by many on the PGA Tour since then, but he seemingly hasn’t looked back.
The Englishman, who will be remembered fondly for his Ryder Cup heroics, has just finished in 37th place in the LIV Golf Individual Standings.
Poulter wants to become Ryder Cup captain, but an appearance at the event in any capacity will be a real challenge for those on the Greg Norman-backed tour.
He is also eager for a solution to the current stand-off between the PGA Tour and the PIF, with Poulter wanting more LIV golfers in major championships.
What Ian Poulter misses about the PGA Tour after joining LIV Golf
The Majesticks GC co-captain will now be eyeing a strong finish in the Team Championship in Dallas this week.
He was, however, asked by Al Arabiya English what he misses about his playing days on the PGA Tour and indeed the DP World Tour, with Poulter saying: “What do I miss about the PGA and European tour? Just a few friends, that’s it.
“I played a lot of golf on both those tours, upwards of 600 events. The guys have and will always have a very strong product.
“For me the LIV product has been very refreshing. To be in a team environment and have teammates I play with week in and week out is amazing for me and to be able to grow this franchise. I think people lose the sense of what franchise really means and the team value.
“What I miss about the European Tour and the Ryder Cup, for instance, I get on a weekly basis for the 14 weeks I play on LIV. So what I miss there I gain all of it back on this side.”
Will Ian Poulter get what he wants despite playing on the LIV Golf tour?
Majesticks are in 11th place out of 13 heading into Dallas, in what has been a tough LIV Golf season for Poulter, Lee Westwood, Henrik Stenson and Sam Horsfield.
But many players across the tour will undoubtedly be playing for money as opposed to final league standings.
Poulter does, however, have clear ambitions to one day make a return to the Ryder Cup, where he boasts a 15-8-2 record.
An undefeated singles record of 6-0-1 is a fine achievement, but unfortunately it may be some time before he ever makes it back to the team event.
His major championship wish is also a tricky one amid the current friction between the PGA Tour and LIV, with the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) not recognising events that Poulter is competing in.
