Ian Poulter (born January 10, 1976 in Hitchin , England ) is an English professional golfer on the European Tour and the North American PGA TOUR .
He became a professional golfer in 1994 , but was only able to qualify for the European Tour after his first victory on the Challenge Tour in 1999 and the Tour School . In his first season, Poulter won the Italian Open and received the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year Award 2000. Other victories followed in the following seasons, including the prestigious Volvo Masters in 2004. In September 2006, he won the Open de Madrid . In the European Tour Order of Merit Poulter was able to land in the top 10 in 2003, 2004 and 2006.
After narrowly missing out on qualifying for the 2001 Ryder Cup , he was a member of the victorious European team in 2004 . This gave Poulter the right to play the PGA TOUR and since 2005 he has been dividing his starts between the two major tournament series.
Poulter celebrated his greatest success in February 2010 when he won the WGC Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona. In the final he defeated his compatriot Paul Casey with 4 and 2.
