The word has two separate pronunciations : long OO or long O.

In the first, which rhymes with tour, moor, and sure, the pair OU in "pour" has a long OO sound, as in pool, but with the R as practically a second ursyllable.

In the second, which rhymes with four, core, and door, the sound is a long O.
