My Take
What draws me to Ian Poulter isn't his peak world ranking of number 5, impressive as that is. It's the pure combat in his eyes. The man built his legend on the Ryder Cup, where he dragged Europe to five title-winning campaigns through sheer force of will. He plays best when the stakes are highest and the crowd is loudest, which tells me everything about his temperament. The loud trousers are theatre, but the fire underneath is real. His move to LIV invited noise, yet I suspect a competitor like Poulter simply needs somewhere to keep fighting. I respect that hunger.
