The Eternal Summer by Curt Sampson
A narrative history that traces how the sport's modern popularity was forged in the 1960s through the intertwined careers and rivalry of two dominant champions, contrasting one player's magnetic charisma and daring shot-making with the other's calculated power and precision; it follows their head-to-head battles in majors, explores their personalities and off-course pursuits, and shows how television, sponsorship and celebrity transformed golf into a mass spectator sport, arguing that their era created a lasting legacy that shaped professional golf's future.
