Tiger, Tiger: The Untold Story of the G.O.A.T. - James Patterson

The impossible life of Tiger Woods--how did he become the GOAT, and what drove him to fall so spectacularly? In Patterson's hands, Tiger's story is a hole-in-one thriller. n Filled with brand-new interviews, Tiger Woods is the first nonfiction collaboration between James Patterson and golf reporter Peter de Jonge, co-authors of the New York Times bestselling Miracle golf novels. n n Tiger Woods is unrivaled as an athlete. He made the ultimate commitment to his chosen sport--and transformed it. Before the age of twenty-five, he rose to phenomenon status: twice named Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated; won more than thirty professional tournaments; and became the youngest player to win pro golf's four Grand Slam tournaments. n n How did Woods do it? On watching the ball, Woods says, I practice putting with my left eye closed, so I can't see the target line at all with my peripheral vision. That makes it easier to keep my eyes looking straight down. n n Patterson and de Jonge tap into the transformative moments of Woods's life, revealing in vivid, dramatic scenes what Woods saw and felt on the course and in his inner life--from his only perfect shot (a 3-wood on No. 14 at St. Andrews) to his missed first putt at the 1995 Masters through his recent comeback tours. nn
