  "account": "Ryder Cup veteran Ian Poulter has joined the growing list of high-profile golfers leaving LIV Golf, casting a shadow over the future of the Saudi-backed league. The 50-year-old Englishman, who was co-captain of the Majesticks team alongside Lee Westwood, announced his departure from the circuit, citing a desire to spend more time with his family and pursue other interests. Poulter's decision follows in the footsteps of Jon Rahm, Louis Oosthuizen, and Sergio Garcia, all of whom have also announced their exit from LIV. The league's future now rests on its ability to attract new talent, including American superstar Bryson DeChambeau, who remains committed to the league.",
