Ian Poulter has been ruled out of a stellar three-ball at the Honda Classic on account of illness.

Poulter had been scheduled to tee off alongside Tiger Woods and Lee Westwood for the first two rounds, but he has been suffering from illness this week and informed event organisers he would not be fit to take his place in the field.

"Sorry guys never been so disappointed in pulling out of a tournament," Poulter wrote on Twitter. "Never felt so rough, hope the first reserve plays well in a great group today."

Miguel Angel Carballo has taken Poulter's place in the field at PGA National in Florida.
