Don't you have enough money?! LIV Golf's Ian Poulter: "It's all relative"
Ian Poulter said it would be "devastating" to miss out on a Ryder Cup captaincy as he explained his decision to join the LIV Golf League in Full Swing.
Ian Poulter gave an insight into his controversial decision to join the LIV Golf League in the Netflix documentary Full Swing.
The episodes were finally released on 15 February and golf fans are already discussing the biggest talking points.
One of those talking points, of course, is LIV Golf and the narrative of who would be joining the breakaway tour.

The third episode is titled Money or Legacy and focuses on Poulter's life behind the scenes before LIV's first event at Centurion Club.
Poulter was filmed having a locker room temper tantrum in a trailer for Full Swing and it was debated whether it was related to the off-course drama.
In fact, that came when Poulter was knocked out of the WGC Match Play on the PGA Tour, meaning he missed out on a spot in the 2022 Masters field.

Poulter ultimately said it was a "business decision" to join LIV Golf but also conceded that missing out on potentially Ryder Cup captaincy would be "devastating".
He also addressed the question that was thrown towards the LIV players: Don't you have enough money?
It's all relative, according to Europe's Postman.
Poulter told Full Swing:
