Ian Poulter stepped out in golf clothing chosen by fans when he took to the course for the WGC Match Play Championship earlier this week.

The PGA Tour ran a Dress Ian campaign, which allowed golf enthusiasts to vote on what golf apparel the player would wear during the tournament at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Arizona.

However, Poulter, who is known for his cutting-edge golf fashion, did not last long in the tournament, as he lost to Stewart Cink in the first round.

Tiger Woods was another player to go out in the opening stages, losing to Dane Thomas Bjorn.

Speaking prior to the event getting underway, he was quoted by USA Today as saying he is a big fan of the matchplay format.

"I love the challenge of beating your opponent in 18 holes. I love the fact you are under pressure right from the get-go," he remarked, adding that he has been in the gym recently to work on his fitness.
