Summary
'Compelling' CNN
‘Sensational’ Geoff Shackelford
Alan Shipnuck, the New York Times bestselling author of Phil, returns with a major new 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 page-turner that in places reads like a spy thriller.

Liv in our time
The combination of political, social, religious, fiscal and sporting insider knowledge and development is astounding. An irenic approach is subscribed to in part to maintain balance. However the propensity of greed is unveiled for the majority of society to witness, specifically the life blood of golf, the fan, that should scrutinise and might justifiably be overcome with emotion. An informative and triggering read/listen, altogether an important piece of literature that will transcend our time.

Captivating story telling
Narration was excellent. The story flowed really nicely and the detail and accounts from so many sources was masterful. Alan is clearly a very well-connected and respected journalist.

A great listen.
Pronouncing Swilken wrong was my only petty gripe. A great book though and very enjoyable

Deep and Enthralling for Golf and sports fans
The level of context and detail the author goes to for each major character in golf is very commendable, and he progresses the story with enough detail to help appreciate the myriad of dynamics involved in a transformative time for a typically reserved and calm sport. I will listen to this again (and again, and again)…

politically motivated
quite hard to decipher what the facts are the author wears his politics on his sleeve and if they don't align with yours you won't enjoy this.
if you followed the MSM disgraceful treatment of Trump and the lawfare used against him you will know what I mean . so if you hate Trump you will love this. if you think he has been subjected to amazing levels of propaganda and smears this will feed your cognitive bias.
I want a proper journalist who able to write dispassionately and allow me to think for myself and make my own mind up.
this audiobook is not for me.
just go straight to chapter 9 if you don't believe me
