Based on years of reporting and hundreds of interviews with people from every corner of Tiger Woodsâs life this is âa searing biography of golfâs most blazing talentâ (GOLF Magazine)âwho has made one of the most remarkable comebacks of all time.
In 2009, Tiger Woods was the most famous athlete on the planet, a transcendent star of almost unfathomable fame and fortune living what appeared to be the perfect life. But it turned out he had been living a double life for yearsâone that exploded in the aftermath of a Thanksgiving night crash that exposed his serial infidelity and sent his personal and professional lives over a cliff. In this âsearing biography of golfâs most blazing talentâ (GOLF magazine), Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian dig deep behind the headlines to produce a richly reported answer to the question that has mystified millions of sports fans for nearly a decade: who is Tiger Woods, really?
Drawing on more than four hundred interviews with people from every corner of Woodsâs lifeâmany of whom have never spoken about him on the record beforeâBenedict and Keteyian construct a captivating psychological profile of a mixed race child programmed by an attention-grabbing father and the original Tiger Mom to be the âchosen one,â to change not just the game of golf, but the world as well. But at what cost? Benedict and Keteyian provide the starling answers in this definitive biography that is destined to linger in the minds of readers for years to come.
âIrresistibleâŚImmensely readableâŚBenedict and Keteyian bring us along for the ride in a whirlwind of a biography that reads honest and trueâ (The Wall Street Journal). Ultimately, Tiger Woods is âa big American storyâŚexhilarating, depressing, tawdry, and moving in almost equal measureâ (The New York Times).
