Overview
'Enthralling... Unmissable' – Golf News
Golf is at war. PGA vs. LIV. Establishment vs. upstart. This is the story of how golf was ripped apart.
The battle for the future of professional golf has been blazing. The Saudi-backed organisation LIV Golf has struck at the very heart of the golfing establishment, setting up rival tournaments with enormous prize pots and pitting the game's most famous players against each other. Led by legend Greg Norman, it has enticed the likes of Sergio García, Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood and Jon Rahm, parking its tanks on the manicured greens of the traditional game. Its tagline: Golf but louder.
In this revised paperback edition, BBC Golf Correspondent Iain Carter delivers the fascinating – and ongoing – account of a sporting upheaval. With the game still in a state of limbo amidst negotiations between the PGA and LIV, a resolution to this story remains out of reach.
Golf Wars spotlights the key players, both on the course and in the boardroom, exploring how the PGA Tour and other traditional organisations are fighting back. Carter covers every twist and turn, hearing from influential figures including Rory McIlroy, Jay Monahan, Greg Norman and Tiger Woods – alongside new interviews with Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton on their move to the LIV camp.
Through expert and up-to-date analysis of all sides of this bitter conflict, Carter reveals how the saga is unfolding and what it means for golf's future. Has the controversial Saudi Arabian state essentially bought the game? Or is LIV just a sportwashing series of glitzy exhibition tournaments?
