Tiger Woods by Jeff Benedict

A deeply reported biography that traces a prodigy’s rise from a disciplined, competitive childhood under a demanding father to global superstardom and domination of golf, followed by a dramatic personal and professional unraveling; drawing on interviews and documents, the book examines his complex racial identity, relentless psychological drive, a pattern of secrecy and infidelity that exploded into public scandal in 2009, the physical toll of injuries and surgeries, and the struggles and attempts to rebuild a fractured life and career while reshaping the sport’s culture and business.
