Ryder Cup legend Ian Poulter has become the latest star name to confirm he is quitting LIV Golf - leaving the breakaway tour's future looking increasingly uncertain. The 50-year-old Englishman was among a plethora of stars lured by LIV when the Saudi Arabia-backed project was launched in 2022 and was a staunch defender of the circuit when it was criticised. But Poulter has followed the likes of major champions Jon Rahm and Louis Oosthuizen in announcing his departure. He has said he wants to help his two sons, Luke and Joshua, pursue professional careers, as well as develop his YouTube channel. Saudi's Public Investment Fund withdrew its backing from LIV in April - having pumped in more than $5bn (£3.8bn) - leading to the league filing for bankruptcy protection in the United States last month. It has secured a possible $300m (£224m) in financing from BC Partners Credit to try to move forward with 'LIV 2.0', but only a handful of players have so far committed to the proposed competition in 2027. "I wanted everyone to hear it direct from me that I have decided to not move forward with being part of LIV 2.0," Poulter wrote on his social media channels.
