Nov 13 (Reuters) - England's Ian Poulter will make his first appearance in a regular European Tour event for 10 months when he competes in the Dec. 1-4 Australian PGA Championship on Queensland's Gold Coast, the tour announced on Sunday.
Poulter was sidelined for nearly five months this year due to a foot injury. He last teed it up on the European Tour at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship in January.
Poulter, once ranked as high as fifth in the world, has plunged to 145th in the latest ranking.
The 40-year-old Englishman will be playing in the Australian PGA Championship for the first time and will join Australia's world number six Adam Scott in the field at Royal Pines Resort.
