{"product_id":"book-kgk3","title":"Rory Land","description":"Timothy M. Gay writes that four-time major champion Rory McIlroy is \"golf's ageless Opie Taylor,\" a superstar whose charm transcends national boundaries and enlivens the game. His swing is so powerful that Tiger Woods is teaching his own son to mimic Rory's action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut a charismatic persona and a pretty swing don't translate into winning championships. Rory has failed to win another major and fallen short of achieving the career Grand Slam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe's become a lightning rod, getting into a smackdown at the '23 Ryder Cup and, after his betrayal by PGA Tour brass, causing confusion by going from an impassioned opponent of a deal with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf to an outspoken proponent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMcIlroy is from Northern Ireland, a geopolitical anomaly where religion and patriotism have been used as bloody cudgels. Both sides of his family were battered by the North's sectarian Troubles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRory is a man essentially without a country, which might explain why he's become so obsessed with the Ryder Cup. Gay argues that McIlroy has invented his own fiefdom, which the author has dubbed \"RORY LAND.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRory Land\u003c\/i\u003e tells the saga of a compassionate superstar living in a world where \"money has no conscience.\"","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49705015017776,"sku":"BDkgk3","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49705014952240,"sku":"ZEkgk3","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49705014985008,"sku":"ZMkgk3","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/kgk3-cover.jpg?v=1763038304","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-kgk3","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
