Description

Instant New York Times Bestseller!

James Patterson—the only major author to have nine holes-in-one—gets inside the mystery of Tiger Woods as only he can. How did Tiger become the G.O.A.T., what drove him to fall so spectacularly, and how has he made his way back to the pinnacle of golf? In Patterson’s hands, Tiger’s story is 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.

Tiger, Tiger is the first full-scale Woods biography of the decade. In James Patterson’s hands, this story is a hole-in- one thriller.

 

Reviews

  • The Real Tiger

    4
    By DDrourr
    We all know of his golfing achievements and his personal downfalls, but reading about them so close together, rather than years or decades apart, it astonishes even more. I felt like I was in Tiger’s head, and I’m not sure that’s such a good thing. A great read, especially for a golfer of my age, who actually saw him and remembered him from The Mike Douglas Show. Cannot wait to see what he does to the Senior Tour.
  • Very Good Read

    It is something to understand that all people have different experiences and circumstances and learn from them and grow from them
  • Disappointing Fanboy Bio

    If you have followed Tiger’s career, this is merely a recitation of his highs and lows. It doesn’t make any attempt to delve into what makes him truly great in golf or epic in his failures. It’s a very shallow book, unfulfilling. I respect Patterson’s body of work but it felt like he was more of a fanboy than a biographer on this one.
