Ian Poulter in late dash to Hong Kong to maintain European Tour membership

Ian Poulter is making a last-minute dash from Florida to Hong Kong in order to maintain his European Tour membership and remain eligible for next year’s Ryder Cup.

Poulter dropped out of the world’s top 50 on Sunday and was therefore ineligible for the upcoming WGC-HSBC Champions event in Shanghai, meaning he would be unable to play the 13 events required for European Tour membership.
