In recent years professional golf has been at war and Alan Shipnuck has been our most trusted correspondent on the front lines. Now Shipnuck turns to the conflict that made Mickelson and many other top golfers villainous in the eyes of the public: LIV Golf's disruptive and belligerent storming of the professional golf world. (LIV's unofficial motto immortalized on hats gifted at a staff party: Fuck Em All. ) In LIV and Let Die Shipnuck delivers fly - on - the - wall reporting from the yachts where LIV was hatched and within the corridors of power as the PG a Tour flailed to fend off the threat. Shipnuck has traveled seamlessly between both tours having countless conversations with players caddies CE Os agents financiers lawyers flaks fans and Instagramming wives to deliver a no - holds - barred account of the most chaotic moment in golf history.
