A few weeks ago, Justin Thomas took issue with some excerpts being released from Alan Shipnuck’s new book, “LIV and Let Die: The Inside Story of the War Between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf”.

I’d like to speak on behalf of a lot of Tour players and say we’re sick of @AlanShipnuck doing what he does. Bring positivity and good stories to help grow the game of golf, not try and make money bashing guys, earning zero trust, with a lot of incorrect information. Ridiculous

While speaking with Rick Broadbent of The Times, Shipnuck addressed Thomas’ comments. Check out what he had to say below.

“We are in the most volatile moment in the history of professional golf, and there’s been two years of finger-pointing and name-calling, and his critique is I’m not writing more positive stories. I didn’t create this situation, I’m just recording it. These pro golfers want money and fame but don’t want the scrutiny.”

In terms of the criticism the author has received for quoting unnamed sources in his books, Shipnuck isn’t bothered.

“Players become so voracious and if anybody else tries to get a few crumbs you’re a bad guy. I have four kids to put through college and I write books for a living. I don’t think I need to apologize for that to Justin Thomas. It’s never enough for these players. It’s a bottomless pit.”

“LIV and Let Die” is available to buy as of today (10/17/23) and you can get it here -> LIV and Let Die
