Bruce Critchley, a former Walker Cup player who now works for Sky Sports, remarked that Poulter, who has his own clothing company, was maybe not focusing on his golf as much as he could.

It would seem that the English golfer disagreed with Critchley's assessment, for he took to his Twitter account to set the record straight.

"I would love some of our commentators to do a day in my TaylorMade Burner SuperFast 2.0 Fairway Wood with family, gym and practice sessions," Poulter wrote.

"They haven't got a clue how hard we work. They sit on there ass talking crap. That's really difficult.
