Ian Poulter has revealed that Majesticks GC are not planning any action in the new LIV off-season transfer window.
The 54-hole circuit is set to introduce an element of trading and transfers between teams as they look to continue their focus on the team aspect.

Canter has already revealed that he plans to return to the DP World Tour following the conclusion of his commitments with LIV.
