There’s no shortage of juicy details emerging from author Alan Shipnuck’s new book about the PGA Tour-LIV Golf soap opera, and it’s making some golfers “sick.”
Tour star Justin Thomas took a swipe at Shipnuck in response to one excerpt, in which an anonymous former Ryder Cup teammate said “f–k Rory” McIlroy and lamented that the Northern Irishman was being depicted as “some kind of hero who is saving golf.”
