Ian Poulter comes under fire for tweet

• Ian Poulter comes under fire for outing employee on Twitter
• The man made derogatory comment about Poulter on Facebook
• Poulter uses Reliable Carriers regularly to move his car collection

After a disappointing end to a disappointing year at the Hong Kong Open, Ian Poulter had a lot of time to kill on his journey back from Asia to Orlando.

He spent a lot of that time on Twitter, first doing a Q&A for his 2.28m followers, before coming under fire for outing an employee of Reliable Carriers – an American company he uses regularly to move his car collection.

On Friday, during the second round of the Hong Kong Open, Poulter had a go at a cameraman after making a quadruple-bogey for running behind him when he was getting ready to hit his shot.

The Englishman, somehow, spotted this a shared Facebook from the man in relation to his reaction – and took to Twitter to show his displeasure.

Glenn I'm disapointed. I remember you delivering & was a great experience. I guess I will never use @ReliableCarrier to move my cars again. pic.twitter.com/Qudl9m8qkv

However, not a lot of people agreed with the way he had gone about it.

But Poulter stuck to his guns.

And he did receive some support.

@Niall_McAteer @IanJamesPoulter @ReliableCarrier maybe Glenn should have kept his trap shut.

@IanJamesPoulter Customer service doesn't end when the car's delivered. He should remember that he represents his employer & be more tactful

@IanJamesPoulter good for you. Folks like to hide behind a keyboard and disparage others. You have a right to fight back.
