Overview
- Poulter said he tore a meniscus while hopping up two steps at LIV Golf Virginia and underwent an MRI after returning home.
- He played through the injury at Virginia, producing a third-round 7-under 65 and finishing tied for 18th.
- At LIV Golf Korea he opened with a 4-under 66 then shot a 2-over 72 to sit around tied for 13th while continuing to compete.
- Poulter says he feels no loss of sensation in his golf swing but feels pain when walking downhill, so he is avoiding high-risk activities and has scheduled surgery for September.
- The 50-year-old veteran has prior foot and knee troubles and no individual LIV Golf win since joining in 2022, a context that sharpens questions about veteran durability and managing long-term recovery versus short-term competition.
