In 2009, Tiger Woods was the most famous athlete on the planet, a star living what appeared to be the perfect life. But a Thanksgiving night crash exposed his serial infidelity, sending him into a downward spiral from which he has yet to fully recover. Peering behind the headlines, this biography answers the question that has mystified sports fans for more than two decades: who is Tiger Woods, really? Drawing on more than 400 interviews with people from every corner of Woods's life, Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian construct a psychological profile of Woods, who as a child was programmed by an ambitious father and the original Tiger Mom to be the "chosen one," to change not just the game of golf, but the world as well.
