Ian Poulter is set to play in LIV Golf's Texas event this weekend, but right now, he doesn't have anything to play with.
The 48-year-old flew from Heathrow Airport to Texas earlier this week, but without his clubs.
Midflight, the airline sent Poulter an email "to inform you that a bag has not travelled with you today" and told Poulter to contact them for delivery.

"FFS @british_airways so dispointing [sic]," Poulter wrote on his Instagram story, via The Daily Mail. "I checked in 2 hours 30 minutes before the flight. What could possibly be the excuse. Just received the email 3 hours into the flight. I wouldn't have bothered flying if you're not sending my golf clubs. Can't swing fresh air."
"Talk about p---ed off @british_airways. The golf bag wasn't over weight," he said in another post. "I took it to over size and scanned it and watched it go down the belt. #Pathetic."

Poulter later added that Henrik Stenson's clubs were also missing.
"You might as well find those as well whilst your [sic] looking for mine. The only thing you guys do very well is charge for flying," Poulter wrote.
