Lee Westwood, Paul Casey, Matt Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood, and Tyrrell Hatton are in the photograph, along with which Poulter is seeking some boy band names. “Boy Band Names…must be golf related,” he wrote, asking everyone to do their best as he tagged Ryder Cup Europe and the players in the photo.

Let’s take a look at some of the responses, which ranged from options like ‘Hole-in-One Direction’ to ‘Waiters With Attitude’.

Poulter has an overall 14-6-2 record and is yet to lose a singles match at the event. He is also the second oldest who will be on the course at Ryder cup 2020, the oldest being Lee Westwood, who is 48 years old.
