Poulter needs 40k to keep tour card

[shivas irons]

Poulter has just one more PGA event to make $40k to keep his tour card.Bit of a fall from grace for the former Ryder cupper this year what with his clothing business folding and now a good chance he may lose his playing privilages.I have to say i'm not a fan of Poulter especially after the arrogance I felt he displayed showing off his car collection online and declaring after showing a particular model that he's never driven it so he's thinking about selling it, the car was worth 300k ,shame you cant sell cars to keep your card eh Ian?

Just read the story online $31k required so top 30 next week or he'll need invites. He'd have had it already had he shot 1 better on Sunday.

He's playing on a medical extension so it's not really a fall from grace as such.

Blew it big time last night, was 1 shot outside securing his card, had 3 3 putts and missed several other makeable putts, was not a happy bunny in the interview afterwards

His football team are crap aswell.

Shame he had a couple of 3 putts over Sunday's round - that's normally his strength. It's a lot of pressure especially when he was not playing for so long - hopefully he gets the card sorted at the Texas Open

They said on yesterday's coverage that he needs a top 30 finish next week. Should've got it done this week, but didn't! Ah well as he says himself, he has a good life with nothing to complain about.

31k is it now they said 40 last night,the pressures really on to make the cut next week but just on his Ryder cup record alone he'll get invites.

He should return to European tour.

He would only do it as a temporary measure as his family and life are in the US now

You can move your family home easily enough.

If he's not good enough over there it might be best in the long run. Especially if he wants another go at the RC.

Was out last night so didn't see it but was surprised to learn he hadn't secured what he needed. Really hope he does enough this week.

IF he doesn't get his card back next week and has to rely on invites, if he earns enough $$ during invite events. Does he get his card back? or is it all on the table next week.

Lot of pressure for him but I think he'll manage it. Tee to green he didn't seem too bad after the layoff.

he hit it plenty good enough, just putted really poorly, in his interview he was more frustrated he hadnt won the tournament than had missed securing his card!

Think it's all or nothing
He's on a medical extension and has to make the amount by next Sunday.

it is until end of season, obviously if he earns enough (or wins a tournament) on sponsors invites to finish high enough up the money list then he can get the card that way

If it doesn't work out - 41 now, best days behind him, had a good run and a good career. No-one should feel sorry for him. How long do people really want to stay on tour anyway? - endless hotels/practice/media/airports - must come a time you just want to kick back and enjoy the spoils, get into new ventures.

Don't forget it's not so bad over there.
They can finish on a Sunday afternoon and be home Sunday night...And he only has to play 20 events or so....

If he missed the cut in his next tournament surely he would still get some invites to tournaments for this year. Would it then be a case of entering Q-School for next season?

If it all goes south he could open a market stall selling tacky golf wear
