Guest: Alan Shipnuck, author of "Rory: The Heartache and Triumph of Golf's Most Human Superstar."
Description: Shipnuck, whose new book on Rory McIlroy profiles the 2025 Masters champion, on everything Augusta, including Phil Mickelson, a Butler Cabin secret entry and high school girls basketball.
Talking Points:
▪️ Why Alan Shipnuck thinks Rory McIroy’s strong personality and less outgoing upcoming stars may mean golf biographies are near their end.
▪️ Shipnuck recounts the story of sneaking into Butler Cabin with Bubba Watson’s team in 2012, getting busted by Augusta National officials and being suspended from press credentialing for a year.
▪️ When Phil Mickelson left the PGA Tour for LIV Golf, he may have been right after all.
▪️ Shipnuck’s favorite Masters sandwich? Egg salad with hot sauce and chips added on.
