Golf Wars

Rezensionen / Stimmen

A superbly detailed account of an uprising in professional golf. * Andrew Cotter * If John le Carre decided to take on a golf story, this is the book he'd write... Carter takes us behind the scenes to help us better understand the origins of this existential moment for all of professional sports. * Geoff Shackelford, author of books including The Future of Golf * Detailed, revealing and at times shocking, Carter's insider position in golf's civil war gives him a unique insight into the carnage caused by LIV Golf's untold riches and just how deep the rifts in the pro game still run. * Gavin Newsham, award-winning golf writer and co-founder of Golf Punk * Few journalists are closer to the professional game than Iain Carter, who offers detailed and balanced insight on a civil war that has plagued golf during the most tempestuous period in the sport's history. * Alex Narey, author of The World's Greatest Golf Courses From Above * Golf Wars takes us inside [Carter's] sport just as it is being split down the middle ... by candidly allowing the reader to see golf through a journalistic lens, Carter reveals as much about the media as he does about the sport * Ed Smith, New Statesman * As Arnold Palmer said, "golf is the closest game to the game we call life"; while this is the remarkable and entertaining story of a revolution in golf, it's also a sobering reminder of the way the world really works ...
