During the first round of LIV UK on July 24, Bryson DeChambeau and Ian Poulter had an altercation on the course. Poulter was nearly hit by DeChambeau's tee shot while on the tee box, prompting him to react angrily. He later stated that it was not DeChambeau's fault due to the course layout, which made it difficult to see the tee box from where DeChambeau was hitting. However, DeChambeau's previous comments about not shouting 'fore' may change Poulter's perspective, given the dangers involved in golf. DeChambeau has previously suggested that advisories are often unnecessary when he does not believe his ball will reach the audience.
