The Mulligan

New York Times bestselling author of Commander in Cheat and Who’s Your Caddy? Rick Reilly totes bags for a fascinating array of new golfing victims—from the worst golfer in America to nude golfers in France, from Lee Trevino to actors Jason Bateman and Will Arnett, from the PGA Tour to LIV, from amputees to PTSD soldiers. The Mulligan is a funny and yet surprisingly emotional journey into the heart of golf and why we all take refuge in this maddening game.

Two decades ago, beloved sportswriter and humorist Rick Reilly delighted readers with his hilarious gonzo golf masterpiece Who’s Your Caddy?, in which he served as a caddy for a wide variety of people who play and love the game, including the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Deepak Chopra, and Donald Trump. The book introduced the world to Trump’s cheating ways on the links, which Rielly expanded into an entirely new bestselling book of its own. The popularity of golf surged, the sport transformed, the world devolved, and all along, fans and readers have begged Reilly to do it again.

The Mulligan finds Reilly carrying bags for the likes of golf legend Lee Trevino, PGA Tour veteran Zach Johnson, and comic genius golf buddies Jason Bateman and Will Arnett. Reilly also hits the LPGA Tour, actually wins on the LIV Tour, and wreaks havoc at the Pebble Beach Pro Am. He gets to know the players at the National Amputee Open and the graduates of a caddie school for soldiers with PTSD. Aside from the famous, talented, and inspiring, Reilly also finds the most travelled golfer in history as well as the worst avid player. And to top it all off, Reilly imagines a round with his all time hero John F. Kennedy and then leaves nothing to the imagination when he caddies nude golf.

Reilly carts golf bags for the most intriguing people he can find to see what he can learn about life, golf, politics, entertainment, and so much more. In exchange, he reminds them not to hit the ball in water.
