Despite not playing golf, Alan Shipnuck is still at the center of a scandal in the golf world.
First of all, a few days ago, he called Tiger Woods and Patrick Cantlay “petty, vindictive and greedy,” according to Golf Magic.
This is because, according to rumors, some of the PGA Tour players want the LIV Golfers to pay back the massive sums that they had taken up to make shifts to the breakaway league.
Jon Rahm, Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, and Cameron Smith reportedly received upfront payments exceeding $100 million each to join the breakaway tour.
This isn’t the only controversy the author has caused: last year, Shipnuck wrote the controversial book “Phil: RIP Roaring,” based on the life of Phil Mickelson. Of course, Mikelson was not satisfied with this.
It is noteworthy that Sypnack states: When Lefsha’s former friend Billy Waltars released a book that had information about his habits against gambling: I didn’t want to convey the story: “Phil is a bad guy. That’s why.” That wasn’t my goal. Presenting it to the reader was easy to find who he was.
A year later, the contradiction that almost destroyed the left wing life is floating. Shipnack also wrote the book “LIV and Let Die,” which chronicled the battle between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf through the eyes of players, caddies and other participants.
The book was also named to the WHSBOTY (William Hill Sports Book of the Year) list. Neil Foggin, presenter at Sports Book Club, said: “It’s his access and there’s been research into that, he’s had altercations with players and so on. And fallouts.
But they still talk to him because of his position within the media. It’s an exciting book, and if you like your golf course, it’s for you. And now there is more! SHIPNUCK has recently published another book.
When asked by a fan when we could read what he wrote, he tweeted that he was “typing it up ASAP.” “Planned for release March 2026…!” It’s sure to be controversial! Perhaps Mickelson will be involved.
As it turns out, the couple has a lot of history. Lefty and Shipnack have a huge online rivalry, often giving fans glimpses of their talents on Twitter.
In November, before Rahm joined the breakaway league, Alan Shipnack reported that Mickelson had been telling people the Spaniard would be leaving the PGA Tour for LIV Golf, and it was done.
To this, Lefty replied, “That’s not true and I don’t know anything. I don’t want to know anything and I didn’t say anything. Alan is a terrible liar and a pathetic human being.”
And that’s not all: The sportswriter called Mickelson’s reaction “classically sociopathic” and stressed that he told “influential people in golf” about the Rahm news.
In a now-deleted post, Mickelson said: I did not mention John’s name, I did not talk about him. Everyone who has been around for the past few weeks can attest to that.
Please reveal your sources, you liar (and I won’t mention the numerous lies in your book, which are too numerous to count). The feud between the two never really seems to end, and that may only add to the excitement!
