‘Don’t Want Those Guys at All’: PGA Tour Veteran Sends Blunt Message to LIV Golf Defectors Amid Champions Tour Tensions

When three-time PGA Tour champion Ian Poulter turned 50 in January, he might not have expected to leave LIV Golf. But that’s exactly what he did in October amid the rebel league’s bankruptcy. He explained that he made the “tough decision” to leave so he can “spend more time … with my family, reduce international travel, focus on senior golf” next year. But two-time Charles Schwab Cup champion Steven Alker has some bad news for him. “It’s a Catch-22,” Alker said on LIV players aged 50 and older leaving the league and gaining access to the PGA Tour Champions.
