The most awaited golf event of the year has begun at the Marco Simone Golf Club in Rome. The weekend promises to be jam-packed with exhilarating action from the world’s top professional golfers. Both teams, Europe and America, are determined to give their best to secure the Ryder Cup.

In addition to the 24 players participating this year, those who couldn’t make it to both the squads are also cheering for their respective teams. One such golfer is Ryder Cup legend and LIV golfer Ian Poulter who was snubbed for the tournament owing to his LIV status.

Ian Poulter Being A Ryder Cup Legend and Patriotic Ambassador

Ian Poulter, a former PGA Tour golfer currently competing on the LIV golf tour, boasts an impressive record of seven Ryder Cup appearances with Team Europe. Known for thriving in high-pressure, hostile environments, Poulter’s dedication to his country and former team remains as it is.

Despite not being selected by Captain Luke Donald, Poulter continues to passionately support his team, placing patriotism above all else. His Instagram account bears witness to his unwavering commitment to Team Europe.

Early on Friday morning, he shared a snapshot featuring the Ryder Cup logo embossed on a golf cart seat, extending his best wishes to the Ryder Cup team. He posted a photo on his stories from his living room, showing himself engrossed in the Ryder Cup action. Notably, he adorned the TV table with miniature Ryder Cup trophies, captioning the image with an encouraging message: “Okay boys… It’s time… Go get it done.”

Ian Poulter has always been a master of getting under the skin of opposing teams. This is crucial in events like the Ryder Cup. Despite never winning a major event, he was a sensational Ryder Cup player.
