About this listen

 #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.

“Irresistible…Immensely readable…Benedict and Keteyian bring us along for the ride in a whirlwind of a biography that reads honest and true” (The Wall Street Journal). Ultimately, Tiger Woods is “a big American story…exhilarating, depressing, tawdry, and moving in almost equal measure” (The New York Times). Entertainment & Celebrities Golf Sports

Whilst the story is written in a way that paints Tiger in a very bad light, it appears that this is the reality of his life. If you have followed his career over the years you will know about the poor behaviour and his indiscretions that should make most people cringe. For many readers it will shed some light on his upbringing with Earl being very outspoken and people of generally the product of their upbringing (the circle effect).

The good stuff is about the dedication he has to the game of golf and that nothing else matters (not even those closest) more than performing at his best. If it wasn't for injuries and some poor life choices he would of already shattered every record possible with no chance of them ever being broken. Listen and be open minded that this is just someones view. There are always 3 sides to a story.

Not a huge Tiger fan but as a keen student of golf and its history it was refreshing to listen to this biography that provides a fact based glimpse of his upbringing, family and others who influenced his life. As a father of two young golfers the book helped me to reflect on myself and my relationship with them.
