English veteran Ian Poulter has slammed critics for their comments on poor outings on the LIV Golf circuit so far. He said that he didn't need to win again and added that those spreading negativity must seek help.
Ian Poulter, who has been on the Saudi circuit since its inception, has hardly impressed anyone with his performance in two and a half seasons. Since the start of LIV Golf, he has not won a title even once. Last Sunday, he finished T35 in Singapore and was sitting at 37th in the season's individual standings with only one top-10 in seven starts.
After getting under a lot of scrutiny, Ian Poulter decided to give it back to the critics. On Monday, May 6, he posted two stories. In the first story, he posted a quote:
"Life doesn't give us what we want or hope for..... Life gives us what we are willing to fight for."
He then proceeded with a long rant against the critics. He wrote:
"I don't need to win again... However I will, and those who don't think or believe or feed negativity on here need to look in the mirror as they are probably hiding behind some issues. So please go seek help or consult in good friends.
"Having belief and drive and the will to succeed keeps us all working harder. Be happy, spread some happiness in some way. I promise it will help."
