À propos de cet audio

The number one New York Times best seller based on years of reporting and interviews with more than 250 people from every corner of Tiger Woods’s life - this “comprehensive, propulsive...and unsparing” (The New Yorker) biography is “an ambitious 360-degree portrait of golf’s most scrutinized figure...brimming with revealing details” (Golf Digest).

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 400 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 listeners 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).

Good, but Skeptical

Loved to hear a different side of Tiger. More of a slam piece but still a good listen.

Great Detail

More to the story than I ever knew. Great from start to finish. Amazing that you get to go back to following him live after this book. Narration was ok not great.

Genius overexposed

This story is at times almost too revealing. It's like "watching" a train-wreck. Most of the info is common knowledge (to vested golfers) however getting the personal side of events and intimate details is almost cringeworthy.
If I have a criticism, the narrator (and editing) becomes distracting from the riveting storyline. From mispronounced names (see V'jay Singh most annoyingly) to changes in volume and/or edits where it's clear the narrator added script afterwards. I'm not trying to be critical but it was distracting. A professional voice actor would have made this 5* all around.

For golf fans, definitely worth reading

The book seems like a critique of childhood prodigies, and what pushes them to greatness. The author is definitely critical of wood's parents, and wood's very selfish behaviour that they instilled in him. But no question, golf requires an almost super human level of confidence in yourself to succeed, and there is no question that he wouldn't have been winning majors at the age of 21 without that super human level of confidence. So like a Rose, this beautiful flower had spikes on it, should we be surprised?

ultimately the downfall plays out like a drama, the book will fly by before you know it. its a great read, and any golf fan (even a remote golf fan) would enjoy it.

I appreciate the author's sympatheic approach to tigers struggles later in the book. The man's life exploded on national TV, and none of us should take joy in that. Huge ups means potential for huge downs, and this book has extra meaning now that tiger has won another Masters (2019) and broke sam sneads record for 82 tournaments won - he is rebounding up and gaining balance in his life that he never got as a child. It would be great if the book is expanded in a few years with a last chapter if he does break jack Nicklaus's major record, and talk about the changes and positive steps he has made in his life.

my critique of the book - there are points where the audio voice almost changes like they were inserting in new facts or names after the fact. it happened enough to make me wish it wasn't happening, but not enough to spoil the book. The author's voice would very abrubptly change in volume and tone from chapter to chapter. It's nice for a listener when its fluid and consistent.

thanks for the great read!

Well worth it!

Great to hear the history of Tiger from the perspective of those around him. The narration was engaging and I could go on to listen more!

Wonderfully Read.

Loved the writing and reading of this story. I was fully engaged even though I’m not a golf fan. There seems to be a lot of research behind this book. Would recommend it to anyone.
