(Reuters) - Britain's Ian Poulter has regained his PGA Tour card for the rest of the season, a week after losing it. The European Ryder Cup hero thought he had lost his full playing status after failing to earn enough points in a designated number of tournaments this season after returning from a foot injury that curtailed his 2016 campaign. But the Tour recalculated his points tally based on a different formula and concluded he had done enough to keep his card through the end of the season. "It's obviously a big bit of good news," Poulter told reporters at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans on Saturday. American Brian Gay uncovered the discrepancy in points allocation for players coming back off medical exemptions and also benefited by retaining his own Tour card.
