Will Ian Poulter participate in the Augusta Masters?

British professional golfer Ian Poulter decided to leave his golf legacy behind for money when he joined the Saudi-backed LIV Golf League. Poulter participated in the inaugural invitational tournament at the Centurion Club near London in June 2022.

However, after switching to LIV, Poulter slipped a lot in OWGR. Not just ranking but playing in any major golf tournament has become a difficult task for him or any other player.

But recently, 17 LIV Golfers have been cleared to participate in the upcoming Augusta Masters Tournament. But the real question is will Ian Poulter be at the tournament that starts on April 6, 2023?

To answer that question, Poulter will miss out on the tournament. The basic eligibility for the Masters is being ranked in the Top 50 and he is ranked 151 in the OWGR.
