Watch: Billy Horschel and Ian Poulter have spirited interaction at BMW PGA Championship

This week’s BMW PGA Championship on the DP World Tour is going to be must-watch TV.

Yes, the golf course is incredible. Yes, stars like Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm are in the field.

But neither one of those reasons are the most intriguing.

Joining McIlroy, Rahm, Matt Fitzpatrick, and defending champion Billy Horschel at Wentworth in Surrey, England, are nearly 20 members of the LIV Golf Series who’ve made their way over the pond after their event in Boston last week.

The PGA Tour stars have been clear with their opinions on the Saudi-backed players’ presence at one of the DP World Tour’s flagship events, including Horschel.

BMW PGA: Picks to winLeaderboard

“I honestly don’t think that the American guys who haven’t supported the Tour should be here. Abraham Ancer, Talor Gooch. … you’ve never played this tournament, you’ve never supported the DP World Tour,” Horschel said Tuesday. “Why are you here? You are here for one reason only and that’s to try to get world ranking points because you don’t have it (on LIV Golf).”

It’s unclear what the conversation was about, but the Florida Gator and LIV member Ian Poulter were caught having a spirited interaction Wednesday on the practice green.
