Ian Poulter Prepares for Golf’s First-Ever Tournament Under Lights in Riyadh

Transcript

00:00Ian Poulter, the first thing I'd like to ask you, this is going to be played under lights.

00:05The first time a tournament has ever been played under lights, how has your preparation

00:09been for that in terms of obviously you've got the lights, you've got the greens, how's

00:13that prep been?

00:14It's been good, it's been for me half man, half mattress, I like to lay in, so obviously

00:19tearing off at 6pm is going to be very different, but from a golf playability perspective, it's

00:27new, it's innovative, like when you see it as it is now, it looks very different at night,

00:33so it's going to be a good test for us all I think, to be able to really kind of pick

00:41your lines off the tee visually, it looks a little different at night to what it does

00:45in the day, so get your homework done over these few days to be able to select exactly

00:52where you want to hit it, and it's a challenge, but it's a great challenge.

00:57You know the lights, obviously very different, standing there you'll have the odd shadow

01:02kind of which you have to get used to when you're setting up over the ball, but I think

01:07it's brilliant, I mean I think for us to showcase Live Golf and do it in a slightly different

01:14way and make it a bit more fun, you'll see that over the coverage, it'll be awesome.
