Ian Poulter undecided about his future with LIV Golf but hopes the league can continue, amid financial concerns

Ian Poulter hasn't made up his mind on whether he will continue to play on LIV Golf next season, but hopes the league can continue to operate next year, amid concerns over its funding.

Alongside his Majesticks GC team-mate Lee Westwood, Poulter was among one of the first players to join the rebel league back in 2022.

But after LIV Golf concluded its 2026 season in Indianapolis last weekend, Poulter took to Instagram to explain he was undecided if he would play on the tour into next year, adding that he was 'proud' of what LIV has achieved.

"This final phase has been tough and none of us knows exactly what comes next," the five-time Ryder Cup winner said. "My thoughts are especially with the businesses and suppliers still owed money. Some are small businesses and I sincerely hope those situations are dealt with properly and quickly.

"It would be a real shame if LIV 2.0 doesn't happen. There are players who would love a strong global platform to play on and countries and fans who want us back.

"Some players will stay, some may go. As for me, I may stay or take some time off. I genuinely haven't decided yet.

"I know some people didn't agree with my decision to join LIV. I've never hidden from the financial side.

"Golfers have received appearance fees around the world throughout my career and still do today. LIV gave me a significant opportunity late in my career and I took it.

"People make career decisions every day based on opportunity, family and financial security. Professional sport is no different."

After paying off their fines for playing in the rebel league, Poulter and Lee Westwood will return to play on the DP World Tour in October and for the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

It comes as speculation is continuing to mount over LIV Golf's future and the futures of many of the players currently playing on the tour.
