Thinking about picking Ian Poulter for the first week of Golf Channel’s Fantasy Challenge?

Do so at your own risk.

On Tuesday night, the Englishman tweeted:

I wouldn't be picking me in any fantasy pick or bet this week even with my own money. Slapping it... It's been a good Christmas.

Poulter had a torrid stretch toward the end of last season when he finished fourth at the BMW Masters, won the WGC-HSBC Champions and was solo second at the Australian Masters, moving him to 12^th in the world.

After Kapalua, he will take another six weeks off before continuing his 2013 campaign at the WGC-Match Play Championship, an event he won three years ago. His final pre-Masters prep will come at the WGC-Cadillac Championship and Bay Hill. “Nice easy schedule,” he tweeted.
