Summary:
"Patterson's account is compelling" (Daily Mail). The only major author to have nine holes-in-one gets inside the mystery of Tiger Woods in a biography that reads like an unputdownable thriller.
On April 13, 1986, ten-year-old Tiger Woods watches his idol, Jack Nicklaus, win his record sixth Masters.
Just over a decade later, chants of "Ti-ger, Ti-ger!" ring out as the twenty- one-year-old wins his first Green Jacket.
He blazes an incredible path, winning fourteen major titles (second only to Nicklaus himself) by the time he's thirty- three, smashing records and raising standards.
Then come multiple public scandals and potentially career-ending injuries.
The once-assured champion becomes an all-American underdog. "YouTube golfer" is how his two children know their father-winless since 2013-until he wins the 2019 Masters, his fifteenth major, before their eyes.
But the story doesn't end there.
