All eat from the bowl of life -- Tiger Woods just has a bigger
spoon.
So writes Curt Sampson in his groundbreaking account of the
current state of golf and the man who changed the game forever --
Tiger Woods. With a mix of power, skill, and business savvy, Woods
has become the biggest sports figure since Michael Jordan, wielding
a competitive edge of equal parts inspiration and intimidation. As
for the rest of the golfing world -- including other players,
junior golfers and their parents, corporate America, agents,
instructors, fans, and the media -- it's either catch up or give
up.
As in his controversial bestsellers "Hogan" and "The Masters,"
Sampson digs deep to tell stories that wouldn't otherwise be told.
From the Austin golf course worker whose admiration for Woods leads
him to spend every waking minute mimicking him, to the unemployed
talk show host whose website stretches the bounds of hero worship,
to the other end of the scale, where up-and-coming pro Charles
Howell III -- tapped by Nicklaus to be the next great challenge to
Woods -- continues to close the gap.
By turns moving, hilarious, and eye-opening, Chasing Tiger is an
affectionate yet wary account of one extraordinary man's impact on
the world of sports, and the game of golf as it moves into a new
era.
