On August 31, ESPN reported the DP World Tour asked LIV Golf members not to wear anything LIV related on their apparel during the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.
Not everyone listened.
Ian Poulter already made headlines this week in Surrey, England, after being captured on video having a conversation with PGA Tour-backer and the event’s defending champion, Billy Horschel.
It’s unclear what the discussion was about.
During Thursday’s first round, Poulter wore a “Majesticks” logo on his sleeve. He appears to be the only one that went against the DP World Tour’s wishes.
“This is a business I own a part of and I have a right to wear it,” he said after signing for a 3-under 69.

Poulter tied for 17th at LIV Golf Boston last week while his team finished third.
Patrick Reed wore a LIV Golf logo on his sleeve during Wednesday’s practice round, but judging by pictures from Thursday, did not wear anything LIV related during the first round.
