McIlroy’s latest Masters win to be worked into recent biography

Alan Shipnuck’s recently released biography of Rory McIlroy will include an “extra chapter on McIlroy’s latest Masters title” for its second edition and paperback versions, according to Garry Smits of the FLORIDA TIMES-UNION. Shipnuck said, “We’re certainly going to bring Rory’s story up to date. The next batch of hardbacks will get printed in a few weeks.” Smits noted the book went on sale worldwide on April 7 and sales “have been so good that Shipnuck’s publisher, Avid Reader Press (a division of Simon and Schuster) has a second printing in the works.” Shipnuck admits he has had “some good fortune” from a timing standpoint in all areas regarding this project. He had already secured a publisher and was “in the process of writing the biography on McIlroy” before his initial Masters win in April 2025 (FLORDIA TIMES-UNION, 4/15).
