WATFORD, England (Reuters) - Ian Poulter, tournament host for the British Masters on his home course at Woburn in 2015, has apologised for electing to miss this year's edition.

The 40-year-old caused raised eyebrows when he decided to make his playing comeback following a four-and-a-half month injury layoff at this week's Macao Open on the Asian Tour rather than at The Grove course just outside London.
