Poulter Fans Decide on Arizona Colours

Ian Poulter in Wednesday in Arizona Colours

With more than a million followers, Ian Poulter is one of the PGA TOUR’s most-engaged tweeters. Not to mention, he’s the leading fashionista.

So Poulter decided to let his fans decide what he should wear when he faces Stewart Cink in Wednesday’s first match of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship. 

The "Dress Ian" campaign launched on Jan. 5 and ended Wednesday.

Fans could vote on three different outfits on the tournament’s Facebook page. Turns out, they chose the red-white-and-blue one — which not unsurprisingly corresponds with the colours of the nearby University of Arizona.

"I sent a couple of Tweets out during the year," Poulter said Tuesday. "And it’s nice to be able to offer something back to the fans."

Of course, with the possibility of frost when he tees off, we might have to wait a few holes before we get the full affect of the outfit. Here’s what Poulter tweeted on Monday evening.

"Teeing off at 7.25 on Wednesday not sure why its that early but anyway, i will be wrapped up warm, Mitts, skins undergarment, beanie,"
