There are some things that should never be seen, or heard. Because once seen, or heard, they cannot be unseen, or unheard.
The only thing that can be said in favour of Poulter is that his press conference was not quite as much of a train smash as Phil Mickelson’s. After two minutes of light banter about the golf and its unusual shotgun start, the organisers opened the presser up. Saudi Arabia is a very nasty place. But of course it is also very rich. And is now determined, as its neighbour Qatar has done, to use sport, and sporting sponsorship and ownership, to spin-rinse its global image.
Not so smart, Phil. It prompted an absolute cracker of a question for a British tabloid hack, who, as a breed, are unlikely to win any Pulitzer prizes but what they lack in high-end long-form journalism they more than make up for with their Rottweiler-like ability to go for the jugular: “Sorry, Phil, can I just clarify what it is you’re apologising for? Is it that you’re sorry for speaking the truth about the Saudis or for your shameless hypocrisy for taking their money anyway?”.
