Ian Poulter Unleashes On LIV Golf Fan, Tells Him To 'Shut The Fu-k Up' Multiple Times

Published|Updated

One not-so-lucky fan got LIV Golf's ‘Golf, But Louder’ experience during last week's event in Houston, and it was delivered by none other than Ian Poulter.

In an intense video that is just now making the rounds across social media, the Englishman and Ryder Cup legend is heard shouting - and we mean shouting - at a fan who clearly rubbed him the wrong way to "shut the fu-k up" multiple times. A "fu-k off" was thrown in there for good measure as well.

Poulter claims that the fan was "quacking it up on the 18th tee," which clearly rubbed him the wrong way. He fired a 79 during Sunday's final round in Houston, which probably didn't help his mood.

We'll go ahead and put the NSFW warning on the video, it's probably not the best idea to play the video around your boss, wife, or children.

Poulter has never been one to hold his tongue in any situation, his fiery nature is why people have grown to either love him or hate him. During the 2019 WGC FedEx St. Jude Invitational in Memphis, he had a fan tossed from the event during the first round.

Speaking of Poulter and the PGA Tour event in Memphis, I myself have witnessed him say some choice words on the tee box.

Years ago my wife and I went to the tournament and Poulter just so happened to be the first player we saw after entering a gate near the 17th green. We decided to make the short walk to the 18th tee to watch Poulter and his group tee off. He proceeded to push his tee shot right, avoiding the water down the left, and a millisecond after the ball left the face he shouted "penis". 

That's how my wife was introduced to professional golf. Just an all-time moment, and what made it even funnier was that we were two of maybe 10 people on the tee to witness it.
