Altre informazioni:
Ian James Poulter (born 10 January 1976) is an English golfer who is a member of the world's top two professional golf tours, the U.S. based PGA Tour and the European Tour. Born in Hitchin, Poulter's first professional win was the Open de Côte d'Ivoire on the European Tour's second tier Challenge Tour in 1999, and he won promotion to the European Tour itself via the Qualifying School later that year. In his first season he claimed the Italian Open title and was the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year for 2000. Further wins followed in each of the next four seasons, most prestigiously the season ending "tour championship" the Volvo Masters in 2004. He was in the top ten on the Order of Merit in 2003, 2004 and 2006. After narrowly missing a place in the 2001 European Ryder Cup team, Poulter was a member of the victorious squad in 2004. This entitled him to take up membership of the PGA Tour in 2005, and he divided his time between the two tours in since then. He has featured in the top 20 of the Official World Golf Rankings. He is well known for his often radical dress sense, including trousers featuring the famous Claret Jug, worn at both the 2005 and 2006 Open Championships. Commentating for the BBC, Seve Ballesteros cruelly jibed that this was "the closest [Poulter] would ever get to it". Poulter has been hotly tipped as one of the brightest up and coming stars of the PGA European Tour since his first appearance in 2000. However with several appearances on the more prominent US PGA Tour he has not fulfilled his potential on the major stage and despite a string of good finishes in some of the worlds top events he has yet to break his duck by claiming any of the worlds top titles. Nevertheless Poulter is still highly regarded as one of the best golfers in Europe.
