LIV Golf rebel Ian Poulter has aimed a fresh dig at those around the sport who have scrutinised players heading for the Saudi-funded circuit.

The 46-year-old was part of the first intake of players who accepted a spot in the rival competition, which has lured a number of the PGA Tour ‘s top stars with highly lucrative deals. LIV Golf—which is bankrolled by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF)—has been criticised by many as another attempt at ‘sportswashing’.

Poulter glazed over that aspect when he celebrated an image posted by journalist Jim Tucker at this past weekend’s Australian PGA Championship. The competition was won by home favourite and fellow LIV defector Cameron Smith, and Tucker’s photo showed two young brothers in attendance sporting major mullets in homage to their hero. Another English professional, David Howell, replied to the post and revealed he had chatted to the two siblings, Randy and Willy, at the Brisbane contest. He noted it was “great to see kids out enjoying the golf” before Poulter waded in with a jibe at those who may not agree with LIV’s emergence.
