The author who published the explosive remarks made by Phil Mickelson that almost brought down LIV Golf before it began has confirmed his book about Masters champion Rory McIlroy<\/a> is complete.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former Sports Illustrated reporter Alan Shipnuck, who has been on the beat covering golf for more than two decades, has been penning a tell-all book about the 36-year-old Northern Irishman.\u00a0<\/p>\n

McIlroy has enjoyed the best year of his career, claiming his first green jacket after more than a decade-long wait for a major championship and playing a key role in Europe’s dramatic 15-13 Ryder Cup victory in New York.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also won The Players Championship and the Irish Open in front of his home fans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

RORY is now available to pre-order for its March 2026 release. It promises to “go deep” into McIlroy’s “personal history” during a time in which the spotlight on the golfer has never been brighter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shipnuck says writing the book was a blast. “He’s had a big life, and it’s all in there,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Phil: The Rip-Roaring (And Unauthorised) Biography of Golf’s Most Colorful Superstar was published in May 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It contained the explosive comments Mickelson made about LIV Golf’s Saudi financiers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mickelson described LIV’s backers as “scary motherf——” and acknowledged the Kingdom’s alleged role in the murder and dismemberment of journalist Jamal Khashoggi as well as human rights abuses. \u00a0<\/p>\n

LIV<\/a> officials later revealed that Lefty’s comments almost brought down the PIF-backed league before it even began.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The fallout led to Mickelson taking an extending period away from the limelight and even lost him multiple sponsors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In October 2023, Shipnuck published LIV And Let Die. It detailed the feud between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf.<\/p>\n

Whether or not the McIlroy book will contain as many revelations remains to be seen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
