Ian Poulter is a car enthusiast and also a professional golfer.
The 42-year-old Ryder Cup belligerent has fashioned an impressive resurgence over the last 12 months, apparently but not actually failing to satisfy his medical extension, getting saved by the math savvy of Brian Gay, finishing T-2 at the Players, and finally winning this season’s Houston Open to earn the last available invite to the Masters.
He’s up to 28th in the world, he’s on the road back to Team Europe, and he’s treated himself to a new automobile, his first Porsche!

Poulter, as you may know, has long fancied himself as a Ferrari man ...
The 5 @ferrariusa Supercars.... 288GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, LaFerrari. 1985, 1990, 1995, 2003, 2015. Dreams do come true. Very lucky boy. A post shared by Ian Poulter (@ianjamespoulter) on Aug 24, 2015 at 4:42pm PDT
... so it’s nice to see him expanding his horizons.
The base price on a Porsche GT3, by the way, is a tidy $143,600, which you can make with a T-15 in a weekend on Tour.
