When the 48-year-old asked Westwood where his luggage was, he replied: “Heathrow. Where am I? Houston”, which made Poulter laugh.
Generally, this is just the last chapter to Poulter who lost his luggage on the way to the next tournament. Houston marked the first event in a month with the league taking a break and Poulter was none too happy knowing that he and Stenson would be in the United States without their clubs.
Shortly after takeoff, Poulter was informed that his golf bag was not on the same flight. Even though he had no clear evidence that his bag was on the other side of the worldPoulter made it known that he was not at all happy to receive a text message that his bag would not be with him.
On social media, Poulter shared the text message he received from British Airways which read: “Dear customer, BA regrets to inform you that a bag did not travel with you today.”
Poulter continued to share his thoughts on the matter during his Instagram stories. “So disappointing,” he told his supporters. “I checked in two hours (and) 20 minutes before the flight. What could be the excuse. I just got the email three hours after the flight started. I wouldn’t have bothered to take the plane if you didn’t send my golf clubs Can I I’m not blowing fresh air.
Poulter added that the bag was not “overweight” and showed a photo of where it might be located in case the airline were looking for it.
Poulter added another message, explaining how Stenson’s clubs were in the same area as his bag. “@british_airways just for the record, there are also @henrickstenson golf clubs. You might as well find them too while you search for mine. The only thing you do really well is charge for the flight.”
Houston marks the start of the second half of the season, and Poulter and the rest of the Majesticks would do well to get off to a strong start. So far he ranks 12th ahead of only Kevin Na and Iron Heads GC.
Hatton, meanwhile, is 11th in the individual standings while helping Jon Rahm and Legion XIII sit comfortably in second place behind Crushers GC. At the end of June, LIV will be at The Grove in Nashville.
