…Tiger Woods, the new biography from Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian, rides in as if on 18 wheels…It's a confident and substantial book that's nearly as sleek as a Christopher Nolan movie. It makes a sweet sound, like a well-struck golf ball. I found it exhilarating, depressing, tawdry and moving in almost equal measure. It's a big American story that rolls across barbered lawns and then leaves you stranded in some all-night Sam's Club of the soul…[The authors] bring grainy new detail to almost every aspect of Woods's life. Better, they have a knack for scene-setting…They refresh old stories by telling them from new angles…This intense book gives us Woods's almost mythical rise and fall. It has torque and velocity, even when all of Woods's shots, on the course and off it, begin heading for the weeds.
#1 New York Times Bestseller * “A whirlwind of a biography that reads honest and true.” -The Wall Street Journal * “There is beauty and awe in this perfectly pitched biography.” -The New York Times * “Comprehensive, propulsive...and unsparing.” -The New Yorker
Based on years of reporting and hundreds of interviews with people from every corner of Tiger Woods's life this is “a searing biography of golf's most blazing talent” (GOLF Magazine)-who 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 years-one 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 “searing biography of golf's most blazing talent” (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 Woods's life-many of whom have never spoken about him on the record before-Benedict 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 “chosen one,” 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.
