Golf Wars: LIV and Golf's Bitter Battle for Power and Identity

Autor Iain Carter
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 apr 2024
The enthralling inside story of the battle ripping golf apart, as disclosed by the sport's most powerful figures and biggest stars.For the past few years 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, seizing some of its best players and setting up rival tournaments. Lead by golf legend Greg Norman, it has enticed the likes of Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood, parking its tanks on the manicured greens of the traditional game. With LIV now in its second season and little sign of the struggle abating, BBC Golf Correspondent Iain Carter delivers the fascinating - and ongoing - story of a sporting rebellion.Golf Wars interviews the key players, both on the course and in the boardroom, to explore how the PGA and other traditional organizations are fighting back. Carter covers every twist and turn and speaks to influential figures including Rory McIlroy, Jay Monahan, Greg Norman, Keith Pelley and Ian Poulter. Through expert analysis of all sides of this bitter conflict, Iain Carter reveals how the enthralling saga is unfolding and what it means for the future of golf. Has the controversial Saudi Arabian state just bought the game? Is LIV just a sportwashing series of glitzy exhibition tournaments? Or is it a welcome challenge to the golfing hegemony and a long-awaited refresh of tired traditions?
