Ian Poulter has branded the Sports Personality of the Year award a “joke and a farce” after US Open champion Matthew Fitzpatrick was snubbed from the shortlist.
Poulter, in two separate tweets, said that it was “disgusting” how the 28-year-old Englishman had been overlooked for the award and that he was glad he “didn’t waste his time flying over.”

• Tartan Pro Tour partners with Challenge Tour
He then went on to say that he experienced how much of a “farce and a joke” the SPOTY ceremony was ten years ago, and that he would never waste time watching or attending ever again.
BBC Spoty is a joke. Disgusting how @MattFitz94 is completely overlooked. Glad he didn’t waste his time flying over. Team GB won in 2012, & in the hand book Team GB couldn’t win as a Team. That was overturned by the executive panel. BBC told us please fly over for it. Custard Pie

Sorry but complete disregard for @MattFitz94 makes this event a continued farce and joke. I experienced first hand how much of a joke this was 10 years ago. Promised myself then I’d never waste time attending or watching again. https://t.co/SlMDIMBflh
