Phil by Alan Shipnuck

A vivid, journalist-driven portrait of one of golf’s most charismatic and polarizing figures, tracing his rise from a gifted, left-handed kid in Southern California to a global superstar whose daring shot-making, magnetic showmanship and near-mythical short game brought both adulation and scrutiny; the book digs into the personal and professional contradictions behind the headlines—family dynamics, intense rivalries and friendships on tour, heartbreaking major near-misses and triumphant victories, business ventures and public controversies—painting a complicated, candid account of how talent, temperament and fame shaped a modern sporting icon.
