Ian Poulter reached the halfway point of THE PLAYERS in 2-over-par 75-71=146 and will miss the cut.
He hit just 22 greens in regulation and converted only five birdies, not enough to offset five bogeys and a double. It's just his second missed cut in his last eight trips to TPC Sawgrass. What's more shocking is that he missed the cut in his last start at the Masters. Poulter hadn't missed consecutive cuts on the PGA TOUR since the first two legs of the 2008 FedExCup Playoffs.

Ian Poulter has been removed from the published field of this week's Wells Fargo Championship.

Draw your own conclusion, but while the Brit is one of the most vocal golfers in the game by nature, he rarely holds back when golf courses don't meet his standard. Various reports out of Charlotte cite below-average putting surfaces, particularly at the eighth and 10th holes, but it's unknown if they are the reason why Poulter opted not to tee it up at Quail Hollow. He's the seventh to withdraw, all of whom are exempt into next week's PLAYERS. UPDATE: In a follow-up at GolfChannel.com, Poulter's manager said that the golfer withdrew due to "personal reasons." The golfer was already in Charlotte for a gathering with a Boys & Girls Club.

Ian Poulter heads to the Masters in search of his first major championship win.

The Brit has each of his eight cuts at Augusta National, proving that he’s learned his way around the course. His best finish was a seventh last year. Known as a gritty competitor with a capacity for dropping pressure putts in the Ryder Cup, it wouldn’t surprise anyone if he grabbed a major this season. While the Masters may not be the most likely, it isn't out of the question by any means.

Ian Poulter turned in a 4-under-par 34-34=68 for his opening round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship, earning him a temporary share of the clubhouse lead.

While he hit 14 greens in regulation, this appeared to be more of an all-or-nothing experience at TPC Blue Monster at Trump Doral today. He holed six birdies, including conversions of 42'5" and 24'5" at the 11th and third holes, respectively, but he also needed respective par saves from 12'5" and 15'4" at Nos. 2 and 7. Poulter set the tone for the day at his first hole -- the 10th on the course -- where he settled for a bogey-6.

Ian Poulter continued his match play prowess in the quarterfinals of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship with a 3 and 2 victory over Steve Stricker.

Poulter won the Snead Bracket by taking control of the match in winning four out of seven holes beginning on the second, after dropping the opening hole following a poor drive. He bounced back from a loss on the par-4 10th with birdies on 11 and 12 to go 4 up with six to play. After conceding the par-4 14th, he halved the 15th with birdie and buried a 10-footer for par on the 16th to halve that hole and seal the match. He will face off against the winner of Hunter Mahan and Webb Simpson in the semifinals on Sunday morning. Looking ahead, should he win this event it would be his third WGC title.

Ian Poulter took care of business in the third round of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship, dusting Tim Clark 5 and 3.

Poulter won five of his six holes with pars, as Clark gave him plenty of slack in the Snead Bracket match. The Englishman may need a few more birdies if he hopes to see his way to victory in the quarterfinals, as Scott Piercy and Steve Stricker are locked in a tight battle that has featured plenty of red numbers. Still, Poulter looks to be in complete control of every match to date and will be a tough out for whoever survives the Piercy/Stricker match.

Ian Poulter dusted Bo Van Pelt 3 and 1 in the Snead Bracket in their second-round match of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship.

And it really wasn't even that close. Poulter completed 16 holes in bogey-free 6-under before being conceded the 17th hole where the match ended. BVP played the same stretch in 3-under but suffered three bogeys. Overall, the Brit won six holes, including five in a six-hole stretch beginning with a birdie-2 at 6. He sails into the third round where he will face Tim Clark.

It wasn't the prettiest of things but Ian Poulter advanced to the second round of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship after a 2-and-1 defeat over Stephen Gallacher in the Snead Bracket.

Poulter didn't trail in this match but he played 15 holes in 1-over. The difference on the scoreboard was due to concessions he received on the eighth and 10th holes. Gallacher won two holes, each with a par. This is the first time in three returns trips since his victory at Dove Mountain in 2010 that Poulter has survived his opening match. He'll take on Bo Van Pelt on Friday.

When you think of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship, it’s likely that a mental picture of Ian Poulter pops to mind, and he will be ready to fight his way out of the Snead Bracket this week.

Poulter was the winner of the 2010 edition held at the current venue of Dove Mountain, but you may be surprised to find that he was bounced from the first round each of the last two years. His first round matchup against match-play rookie Stephen Gallacher may allow him to ease his way into this year’s action. Given the strength of some other early matchups across the brackets, he may stand an easier path to the final four than many of the other heavyweights.

Ian Poulter squeezed his way into the top 10 at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions with a final-round 4-under-par 36-33=69 boosting his total to 5-under 214.

The Englishman was among the most vocal regarding his impatience with the windy conditions that led to three days worth of delays, but managed to do enough to make the trip to Kapalua worth his while. The key was eliminating mistakes, as he made no worse than bogey and took just five of those. He heated up just in time to polish off the week with a tie for ninth with Matt Kuchar, circling birdies on four of his last eight holes.

Ian Poulter capped off an exciting 2012 with a win at the WGC-HSBC Champions to gain entry in the Hyundai Tournament of Champions.

The Ryder Cup star showed he could get it done in stroke play, capturing his second win in a PGA TOUR sanctioned event and earning a return trip to Kapalua. While he’s suggested to his Twitter followers that his form may not be up to his usual standards due to a holiday layoff, we can’t ignore his tie for sixth in his only start in this event. If the weather becomes a factor and players are grinding out pars, he could still thrive.

With a 7-under-par 32-33=65 in his final round of the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions, Ian Poulter posted 21-under 267 to win the tournament by two strokes over a quartet of runners-up.

The Brit was not going to be denied today. He rattled in eight birdies before absorbing a lone bogey at the par-3 17th hole to secure his second career title in a WGC (2010 Match Play). For the week, Poulter converted one eagle and 23 birdies against just four bogeys. It's his 12th victory on the European Tour and second on the PGA TOUR, and it's the culmination of a torrid few weeks that started with a historic Ryder Cup and bridged into a solo fourth at last week's BMW Masters.

Ian Poulter crafted a bogey-free, 7-under-par 32-33=65 in his third round of the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions to post 14-under 202, four strokes back of the 54-hole clubhouse lead.

Poulter was on fire early on Friday, going out in bogey-free, 6-under 30, but he failed to find another birdie the rest of the way, and then vented on Twitter, writing: "-6 under par thru 9 & shoot -4 under total. To say i'm headless is an understatement, 10 under is on. Off to the gym to de stress I'm pissed." The pep talk paid off as he poured in five birdies in his third round. However, the highlight was an eagle hole-out at the par-4 14th hole.

Ian Poulter pulled the Europeans even with the Americans when he knocked off Webb Simpson 2-up in the singles of the 39th Ryder Cup.

In a match that was back-and-forth most of the day, Poulter pulled ahead with a par on the par-3 17th after Simpson failed to get up-and-down out of a greenside bunker. With Simpson needing to win the 18th to halve the match, he split the fairway with his drive and watched the Englishman spray his drive to the right. Poulter hit a spectacular approach to inside of Simpson, and the American was unable to hole his birdie attempt. Poulter's effort over the final two sessions has been a key to the Euros catching the Americans at 10 to 10.

Ian Poulter and Rory McIlroy dug themselves out of a hole to scratch out a 1-up win over Zach Johnson and Jason Dufner in the final Saturday four-ball match at the 39th Ryder Cup.

Poulter and McIlroy were 2 down with six to play, but Poulter stepped into the zone on the greens and rattled off birdies on the final five holes. He was seemingly unconscious with the flat stick, rolling in a birdie on the 17th after Johnson had stuck his approach to tap-in range. Poulter then snaked in a long putt on the 18th after Dufner had secured birdie for the American squad to secure the full point for the Euros. It was the first loss for the dynamic duo of Johnson and Dufner, and with the U.S. lead cut to four, the Europeans have a fighting chance in Sunday's singles.
