Alan Shipnuck, the author who wrote Phil Mickelson's biography, was inexplicably removed from the interview area at the LIV Golf Invitational Series inaugural event at Centurion Golf Club near London.
Shipnuck, who wrote Phil: The Rip-Roaring (and Unauthorized!) Biography of Golf’s Most Colorful Superstar, had been following Mickelson for his opening round. When Mickelson finished playing and went to speak to reporters, Shipnuck was not allowed to join, per Golfweek's David Dusek.
Afterward, Shipnuck insinuated on Twitter that LIV Golf Commissioner Greg Norman had something to do with his removal:
Alan ShipnuckWell, a couple of neckless security dudes just physically removed me from Phil Mickelson's press conference, saying they were acting on orders from their boss, whom they refused to name.
