The Battle For Augusta National by Alan Shipnuck

An investigative, behind-the-scenes account of Augusta National and the Masters that examines the club's secretive traditions, outsized influence in golf and American culture, and the bitter public fight over its male-only membership policy; through reporting and interviews it profiles the key personalities, internal politics, media battles and legal and reputational fallout that exposed how power and privilege operated at one of sport’s most storied institutions and ultimately forced a reckoning over who is allowed inside.
