Despite all the criticism it received, Greg Norman’s LIV Golf had an unexpectedly successful season last year. In fact, according to the golf shark, tons of new players are already waiting in line to join the league this year. Notably, the pressure on the heads of Saudi professionals as well as officials seems to have gone down to a huge extent. Moreover, the league, which is often referred to as a “party”, seriously looked like one at Adelaide after the first round. However, famous LIV Golf rebel Ian Poulter took away all the attention of golf fans with his epic moves on the course.

Fans react to Ian Poulter’s crazy party mode

Poulter, 47, made a rather controversial decision by joining LIV Golf leaving his PGA Tour legacy behind. Although he was not the only one to make the transition, fans heavily scrutinized the player for his bold move. On the other hand, Poulter seemed to look at things practically without considering his fans’ opinions about him important. “This is the right decision for myself…for my family,” he said.

The golfer also called shifting to LIV a “business decision”, however, he seems to be enjoying his time in the league a little too much. In a recent video shared by FlushingItGolf, the English pro can be seen standing on a chair and showing off some of his best dance moves getting everyone around him to cheer! It was around the same time when famous music producer Fisher was playing sick beats for the audience and even got Cameron Smith to do the ‘shoey’ tradition for LIV Golf fans. But Poulter seemed to be in his own little zone with a beer in one hand, and his phone in the other.
