On August 8, golf fans will witness the International Series England take place in London. Longcross Course in Foxhills, Surrey will be the host of this event. While many prominent names are set to take part in the International Series England, British golfer Ian Poulter has announced his withdrawal.

On social media platform X (fka Twitter), Poulter posted his statement in which he detailed his decision to withdraw from the International Series England. The golfer said an ankle injury that he suffered earlier in the season has reappeared.

Poulter said:

"Unfortunately, I've been forced to withdraw from this weeks International Series event at Fox Hills Country Club. An ankle injury I had earlier in the season has reappeared and after consultation with my team, I've been advised on resting it in order to reduce the inflammation. There is nothing better than playing in front of home fans and I'm gutted to miss out on another opportunity after a fantastic week at LIV Golf UK. I plan on being at Fox Hills on Saturday to support the event and hopefully will have a chance to meet some of you there. I wish all the competitors in the field, staff, volunteers, and stakeholders a great week. Poults."
