Since joining LIV Golf, Ian Poulter has been a big spokesperson for the Saudi-backed league. After the PGA Tour x LIV Golf merger, a lot of talks have been around the future existence of the Saudi-backed league.

English golfer Poulter has now come up with his thoughts on how the league has been changing the game and making the fan experience better. Ahead of the league making its way to the United Kingdom in July, Poulter has been quoted as saying by Yahoo Sports:

"It's been amazing. You go from looking at the vision to tasting it and feeling it and living it and growing with it and the experience has been incredible."

Ian Poulter emphasized the amusement that LIV golf offers through an example of the Adelaide event, which had one of the largest crowds that any of the league's events has ever garnered. He said:

"You look back to Adelaide as a showcase event and what LIV Golf can do for an area. Adelaide is one that hasn't had its fair share of events but look at what LIV Adelaide did to the region."

The unique concept, atmosphere, and the business model of the LIV Golf league was heavily praised by Poulter. According to him, the events are exciting and refreshing. The English golfer pointed out how the LIV Golf Adelaide event's success gives a sense of how the game is evolving. He said:

"Hopefully, that gives us a sense of what the benchmark is to be able to one up Adelaide. Who is going to take on the product to be able to beat it?"
