Ian Poulter makes ‘no-look putt’ in front of The Majesticks Arms at LIV Golf UK
Ian Poulter has delighted the home fans with a ‘no-look putt’ (kinda sorta) during the final round of LIV Golf UK.
Poulter, 48, sadly isn’t going to win his first LIV Golf title on home soil at JCB Golf & Country Club in Rochester this week.
But he is giving the home fans reason to cheer.
The Englishman started on the par-4 8th in the shotgun start on Sunday and he burst out the gate with a birdie.
He then headed over to the par-4 9th, a hole where his LIV Golf team have set up ‘The Majesticks Arms’ behind the green.

Poulter announced on Friday that he was offering free drinks for the first 150 fans to his new local.
Not wanting to let down his home fans, the English showman made it two birdies in a row when burying a 12-footer in the heart.
He even looked away at the crowd as his putt was half way to the hole.
Poults then went to pluck his ball out the cup before saluting the locals over at ‘The Majesticks Arms’.

Flushing It labelled it a ‘no-look putt’.
Though a number of golf fans think that’s up for debate given Poulter’s eyes were fixated on the ball at impact.
But still, let’s give Poults the benefit of doubt and call this the first official ‘no-look putt’ ever made on LIV Golf.

Poulter then went and made it three consecutive birdies when adding another at the par-5 10th.
He then endured something of rollercaster.
Poulter dropped two shots with a disastrous double-bogey seven the par-5 13th.
He then got both shots back with consecutive birdies at 14 and 15 but would then hand them back again with bogeys at 16 and 1.
As it stands, Poulter is just outside the top 20 on the leaderboard at LIV Golf UK.
Here’s a closer look at ‘The Majesticks Arms’ that has been created by Poulter’s Majesticks GC:
Business has seemingly booming for Majesticks GC this week with thousands of pints being served in ‘The Majesticks Arms’ over the three days of play at JCB Golf & Country Club.
Poulter is a co-captain of Majesticks GC alongside Lee Westwood and Henrik Stenson.
Sam Horsfield is the fourth member of the team.
Poulter is on the cusp of the Drop Zone in the 2024 LIV Golf League standings.
But since he is a captain and under contract with LIV Golf, he cannot be relegated.
The same story cannot be said for a number of other stars who all face the potential to be axed from LIV Golf.
LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman has fired a stern warning in the direction of underperforming players with just three events left of the regular season.

There’s something of a logjam atop the leaderboard at LIV Golf UK heading into the back nine on Sunday.
Jon Rahm is in contention to land his first LIV Golf title.
England’s Paul Casey and Tyrrell Hatton are also in the hunt, as too is overnight leader Andy Ogletree.
Casey made a statement about ‘UK fans being starved of golf’ in 2024.
But his comment was quickly shut down by two golf reporters.
