TIGER WOODS
Two award-winning investigative reporters, Jeff Benedict of Sports Illustrated and Armen Keteyian of 60 Minutes, offer a defining portrait of Tiger Woods -- one of the greatest athletes of all time and a man who remains an enigma despite a life lived in public from the age of two and a rise and fall that is arguably the most dramatic of any figure in American sports history.
Based on several years of exhaustive research and exclusive interviews with more than three hundred people - including friends, family members, romantic partners, and other members of Tiger Woods's inner circle, many of whom have previously refused to speak, the book is a riveting narrative that presents a new perspective on Woods' childhood and adult life, from toddler training sessions with his determined and complicated father, Earl, to his isolated upbringing, life-changing high school romance, and domination of a traditionally white sport as an African-American. It is a story of athleticism, determination, and of how greatness, while born in an individual, is also manifested. The result is an engaging and enlightening look at an very human American icon.
This wealth of new information, often backed by extensive public records, has allowed the authors to create a three-dimensional, never-before-seen portrait of the most visible yet enigmatic figure in sports.
Jeff Benedict is a New York Times bestselling author, a special features writer for Sports Illustrated, and a television and film producer. He has written fifteen books, including a New York Times bestselling autobiography with Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young.
Armen Keteyian is a CBS News correspondent and a contributing correspondent to 60 Minutes. An 11-time Emmy Award winner, he is widely regarded as one of the finest investigative journalists in the country; expanding beyond sports, Keteyian reached a new level in his career as the Chief Investigative Correspondent for the CBS Evening News, where he was nominated five times and won three Emmy awards since joining the broadcast in 2006.
