Ian Poulter at the Arnold Palmer Invitational:
"In respect to those suffering over there, is the least I can do."
On Day One of this year's Arnold Palmer Invitational Adam Scott, Graeme McDowell and Ian Poulter wore the colours of Ukraine to show solidarity and empathy for the people being driven from their homes. Ian Poulter speaks about his reasons for doing so, in the video above.
