Publisher's Summary

Alan Shipnuck, the New York Times bestselling author of Phil, returns with a major work of insider reporting on the battle for the soul of professional golf between the PGA Tour and the Saudi-funded LIV Golf League.

Over the past two years, professional golf has been at war, and Alan Shipnuck is our most trusted correspondent. Following closely on the heels of his New York Times bestselling sensation, Phil, Shipnuck turns to LIV Golf’s controversial – and belligerent – storming of the professional golf world.

In LIV and Let Die, Shipnuck delivers the inside story in real time, with fly-on-the-wall reporting from the yachts where LIV was hatched and within the corridors of power as the PGA Tour flailed to fend off the threat. Shipnuck has travelled seamlessly between both tours – having countless conversations with players, caddies, CEOs, agents, financiers, lawyers, flaks, fans, and Instagramming wives – to deliver a no-holds-barred account of the most chaotic moment in golf history. Anyone who has a stake in professional golf lined up for an interview with Shipnuck – because they knew everyone else was talking to him, too. The disruption to an old, proud sport was largely conducted in the shadows, but LIV and Let Die delivers numerous revelations about what really happened, and why. It also provides the previously unknown background and crucial context to understand the armistice between the tours that shocked the world in June 2023.

Long known as the most fearless writer on the golf beat, Shipnuck has delivered another hotly anticipated book packed with juicy nuggets and in-the-room-where-it-happened action.. think Bob Woodward moonlighting on the sports desk. LIV and Let Die is the definitive account of the biggest (non-Tiger) golf story this century and a lively story that in places unfolds like a spy thriller.

Fascinating and riveting for golfers

If you're into golf this is hard to put down.
Another fascinating read from golfing journalist Alan Shipnuck. There's a lot of interesting back stories on both the PGA and LIV that are truly fascinating and very revealing. The same goes for the many key individuals behind both sides. As I got deeper into the book it moved from being completely objective to revealing Alans motivation behind not liking LIV which is also fascinating and subtle. He's driven by the very same revenge motivation he describes of Greg Norman. This doesn't taint the book as you accept it as part of the melting pot and again, its also rather subtle.
There are so many facets to this, the maniacal obsession of the PGA to keep absolute control of the PGA and the single-mindedness of Norman and LIV to create an alternative, the players and their ego's, and now the sponsors who are feeling a lack of love along with the 'not top 20 courses'.
If you're into golf this is a captivating read.
This will no doubt make for a wonderful film one day!
Till then, this is a really fascinating read.
