“I’ve been part of Majesticks Golf Club from day one, and am excited to continue on that journey as a player and Co-Captain,” said Poulter. “What we’ve built here, both on and off the course is special, with a clear long-term vision. LIV Golf has changed the game in ways that excite both players and fans, and being part of that evolution has been incredible. Re-signing for 2026 is an easy decision for me. I’m as motivated as ever, and I can’t wait to help drive this team forward into the 2026 season.”

Team Principal James Dunkley added: “Ian is a hugely important part of this team. He sets standards, inspires everyone around him, and brings a level of energy and passion that instills belief in us all. His influence, both competitively and culturally, is enormous, and having both him and Lee back for 2026 is a major boost.”

“Ian brings a unique skillset and personality to the sport,” said Co-Team Principal Oliver Banks. “He’s a leader, an innovator, and a personality who embodies what Majesticks Golf Club is about. His connection with fans, his passion, and commitment to pushing the sport forward make him invaluable.”

Widely regarded as one of the sport’s most accomplished and consistent performers, Westwood boasts more than three decades of elite experience, including multiple international victories and is a former World No. 1. His composed presence, technical understanding, and deep competitive resilience have been central to the team’s development since its inception and will continue into the upcoming season.

“It’s fantastic to continue this journey with Majesticks GC,” said Westwood. “What we’ve built together over the last few years has been incredibly rewarding, and the progression we’re making as a team and as part of LIV Golf is nothing short of incredible. I’m committed to helping push us forward in 2026 and contributing in every way I can, both as a player and a leader.”

Team Principal James Dunkley commented: “Lee’s influence runs deep through this organisation. His leadership style is measured and insightful, and brings immense experience to the team, helping to drive our standards. Having one of the best players in the game back for 2026 strengthens our foundation for the season ahead.”
