“Very few individuals are known throughout the world by one word,” write Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian. “Tiger reached that exclusive club by being the greatest golfer—some would say the greatest athlete—in modern history. But his story transcends golf, and his influence reached around the globe.” Benedict’s and Keteyian’s 360-degree comprehensive account of Tiger’s life closely examines his roots and the vital role his parents played in his epic rise, fall, and return. Benedict and Keteyian set out to deliver something fresh and revealing, a complete human portrait of a true, albeit reluctant, American idol.
