Ian Poulter, a seasoned English golfer, has gone on a huge rant. He would take to his Instagram account to attack ‘two-faced’ LIV Golf critics for their sudden U-turn on their stance regarding the PIF-funded tour following the shocking reversal of Rory McIlroy.
The English golfer, who is a member of LIV Golf, would blast these critics. He would though thank McIlroy for his words and applaud him. Recently, the former World No.1 shockingly admitted that he might have been a little judgmental towards the breakaway tour.
While reflecting on this sudden turn of events, the 48-year-old English golfer hit out at those who suddenly changed their views on them. Poulter would further call this as a “terrible trait“.
Being two faced is a terrible trait. I’d be embarrassed having to change my story now and come out and try and look smart... Enough of the bulls***. Ian Poulter to two-faced LIV Golf critics on Instagram.
Since the inception of LIV Golf, several golf personalities have called them out for trying to bring a change in traditional golf. However, the words of McIlroy have eased down tension a little bit between the players of the two tours, with the likes of Bryson DeChambeau and Phil Mickelson both supporting the Irish golfer.

Just for clarity, I applaud @rorymcilroy for his comments a few weeks ago. It takes a lot to say the things he said… It’s the others who blatantly choose to try and NOW become hero’s all of a sudden. You have to be kidding me.
