While opening up about his story to media, he said, “I really don’t know where my head is. It’s the only thing that has mattered to me for 20 years. You all know that. But when you feel like things change, you might feel a little differently.” According to an article by Golf Magic, Talking about Ryder Cup, Poulter said, “I would love to qualify. Whether I play or not would be a different thing. I haven’t given up on anything. If I win these two weeks, who knows?”

Poulter has been a stalwart of the European Ryder Cup team, having played in five previous tournaments and earning a record of 12-3-2. He has also been a key contributor to Europe’s recent successes, including the 2012 “Miracle at Medinah,” where Europe came back from a 10-6 deficit to win the tournament. “I’m going to take some time to think about it,” Poulter said. “I want to be sure that I’m making the right decision, both for myself and for the team. I want to be able to compete at my best and give it my all, and I’m not sure I’m in that place right now. But I’m not going to rule anything out just yet.”

Reason behind Poulter’s limited social media presence

talking about his limited social media presence and interactions with the press. According to an article by Golf Digest, he stated, “having to change who I am, which is a real shame” and that he can no longer speak as openly as he used to. Poulter felt that his talks and comments were not coming out as intended. He said, “I have to be careful, which is not what I’ve always done.” He has cut that part of his personality to safeguard his mental state from the criticism hovering over him.

The ill-feeling exists between players who made the switch to the upstart LIV Golf League. As many as 11 players who have played in a LIV event are competing in the HSBC Championship. But Poulter, along with some other luminaries, will not be taking part in the pre-tournament pro-am. The whole situation has taken a mental toll on Poulter and led to sleeplessness. Clearly, Poulter’s comments reveal a sense of frustration and uncertainty. His future in the Ryder Cup and his relationship with the press and social media are uncertain. It also highlights the ongoing tension between players in the LIV Golf League and those in the traditional golf scene.
