Alan Shipnuck on golf | Writing the book on Rory & Phil Mickelson's final act

Joe is joined by golf writer Alan Shipnuck to reflect on the decline of Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy's post-Masters comedown. Alan literally wrote the book on Mickelson and charts how fans have fallen out of love with the six-time Major champion since his move to LIV Golf. Alan then discusses his upcoming book about McIlroy, as he and Joe debate why the Masters winner has struggled for motivation since his triumph at Augusta.
