Ian Poulter issues apology to fans at LIV Golf Adelaide

Ian Poulter has taken to social media to apologise to Australian fans for his game being 'sh*t' at LIV Golf Adelaide over the weekend.

Poulter, 48, carded disappointing rounds of 72, 74 and 74 to finish a lowly T52 on 4-over par.

That was second last position and just two shots better off than Anthony Kim, who once again finished last on 6-over par. 

It continues a rough start to Poulter's 2024 LIV Golf League campaign with just one top-10 finish from six starts. 

That came with a T8 at LIV Golf Hong Kong in March.

The Majesticks GC, of which Poulter is a co-captain, finished bottom of the pile on 11-under par for the week in Adelaide. 

That was 19 shots worse than the next best team.

Henrik Stenson, Lee Westwood and Sam Horsfield also make up the team. 

But aside from another dismal week on the fairways for the European Ryder Cup hero and his Majesticks GC, the Englishman admitted to once again loving his time spent in Adelaide.

Poulter's words echoed that of home favourite Cameron Smith, who claimed LIV Golf Adelaide was the 'best tournament' he has ever played in.

LIV Golf Adelaide set a new attendance record on the circuit with 94,000 spectators on site at the Grange Golf Club.

Not only were a number of the world's biggest golf stars in action at LIV Golf Adelaide, but there was also a live DJ set from popular Australian producer, Fisher, after the action in the second round.

Poulter, who did a 'shoey' on stage next to Fisher on Saturday night, wrote on his social media channels: 

"Adelaide you were absolutely class and setting new limits for everyone to follow. The fans were some of the best I have ever played infront of. I love you guys. Sorry my game was sh*t. See you next year." 

LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman hit back at critics during the final round of the tournament by saying he 'feels sorry' for his haters following the apparent success of LIV Golf Adelaide.
