in interview sports illustratedLIV Golf's Ian Poulter said LIV is indeed paying fines for LIV players who resume the DP World Tour.
When asked why Poulter did not have LIV pay his fine so that he could resume his DP World Tour membership, Poulter said he did not want anyone to pay an “unjust” fine.
“Is there a reason? I personally wouldn't pay because I don't think it's fair to be fined a hundred thousand dollars a week at that time,” Poulter said. “Because it doesn't make sense to me at all. My stance has never changed. I play golf all over the world. When I tour around the world outside of Europe, I never pay a European fine. So. , my stance today is exactly the same as it was three years ago. I've never been fined in Europe for many, many other tournaments and I still feel the same way today. “
Poulter added that he would not ask LIV to pay a fine that he believed should never have been incurred in the first place.
“I still stand by my first statement that I think it's wrong. It's very unreasonable. If I personally don't pay the fine myself. Why do I have to put my business partners in a position like this, for something that I actually don't Would you pay $2.4 million to play in the Ryder Cup?” he said.
Poulter and the rest of his LIV Golf Majesticks team will release the “Inside The Ropes” documentary series on Netflix this week.
