Ryder Cup is vastly overrated in the eyes of this American..... no hate here!

[nosedive32]

Tiger and Poulter seem to get along really well when paired together these days. They were talking and laughing it up all day on Saturday at the 2018 Masters and Northern Trust when paired together well out of contention

I imagine he wished tiger a heart felt good luck tomorrow after their round.

 

 

[toddnt]

Genuine.. Not like he had a gun held to his head and ordered to be there!

[Golfjack]

I don't like Poulter but I do love his car choices! That said I don't think he did anything selfish here. You want to say publicity hound, but really he is a public figure. Live with it. It's way better to stick around to congratulate then just leaving. I think Tiger was just so overwhelmed that he didn't present the usual pleasantries. Plus there was probably a few hundred people trying to congratulate him so he probably got tired of it LOL.

[3jacker]

Poulter's got the mindset of a 14 year old girl.

Of course he was trying to get in the picture. So was Bubba.

Agreed.

Glad to judge the guys you mentioned.

 

Phil was too busy looking in the mirror.

Rory was on a conference call with Brad Faxon.

It was near bedtime for Jordan.

[mukster]

OP should get out and play more golf. Sheesh.

I watched Saturdays round and they didnt say a word to eachother lol

 

I was gonna write that he was waiting for a lift in the jet lmao

[tobiasjd]

Poulter has never had anything but great things to say about Tiger and they played together in round 3. I think it was a sincere gesture of respect.

 

[3jacker]

Hank says they aren't friends, Tiger can't stand him. So there's that.

Also, Hank is a chatterbox gossip who cashed in by spilling his guts about working with Tiger, and Tiger can't stand him either.

So there's that, then.

[2putttom]

quite the gathering at the door. I hope I have that many show up for my funeral

[Hit em good]

Hawkeye, no need to call another WRX'r to be lying. Just making a post as I saw it.

> @Obee said:

> Poulter's also one of those guys who have so, so benefitted from the "Tiger Boom" in purses.

 

True; and he's publicly acknowledged that too. I think Poulter gets it; sometimes overshadowed by his flashiness, but he totally gets it.

 

 

[3jacker]

He's an egomaniac with an inferiority complex.

But he's appreciative and gives credit where it's due.

[cardoustie]

100% he was sincere

[Hit em good]

I didn't realize there was so much love for Poulter on this site... Hawkeye even has an obvious man-crush for him, as shown in his defensive posts.

The kind of obvious issue is "Tiger hugged the other players" never happened - so you couldn't see it, no way to see that scene and think it happened.

 

If the "lying" was going too far, sorry about that.

 

Are we left with "just made it up to nail Poulter"? There may be some kind of blind something there I can respect, lol.

 

And yes, I like the cut of Poulter's jib, but I still was able to describe accurately what the exchanges were. ;-)

[Hit em good]

Hawkeye, I called it like I see it.

I see you to be about as big a d!ckhead as Poulter.

Hit em good

Uncalled for, but if you call them as you see them then don't watch the Sunday Final Broadcast starting at 5:30:50 - you'll realize you are Ronnie Milsap (not that there's anything wrong with that - I like him, too).

HaHa! I like this guy! Where'd the 'agree' button go?

[CobraKat]

Side note: Haney's book was a major betrayal. He basically set his career on fire by writing that book. What serious pro would ever trust him after that?

 

 

> @"Hit em good" said:

> I read it in Hank Haney's book. Poulter showed up uninvited at Tiger's plane and bummed a flight home with Tiger and Hank. While on the plane, Tiger texted Hank and said, "Can you believe this d!ck mooched a ride on my plane?"

> Funny

IJP can’t do anything right. He’s a Richard and gets blasted. He congratulate tiger which a lot of players did and now he’s not sincere.

 

The internet is a fun place

[Ferguson]

The real question - Was it as sincere as when Stuart Appleby would "wait for" Robert Allenby?

 

 

 

 

[Hot Rod 71]

They'll be lined up when he wins the PGA.

That and OP seems more of a publicity hound than IJP.

[ray9898]

It seems the majority of topics on this site recently is from people who just make stuff up like it is some sort of fact.

I hate huggers. Posters actually coming to the defense of Ian Poulter!!??? This place is going to hell in a hand basket.
