Publisher's summary

Instant New York Times Bestseller!

“Patterson’s account is compelling” (Daily Mail). The only major author to have nine holes-in-one gets inside the mystery of Tiger Woods in a biography that reads like an unputdownable thriller.

On April 13, 1986, ten-year-old Tiger Woods watches his idol, Jack Nicklaus, win his record sixth Masters.

Just over a decade later, chants of “Ti-ger, Ti-ger!” ring out as the twenty- one-year-old wins his first Green Jacket.

He blazes an incredible path, winning fourteen major titles (second only to Nicklaus himself) by the time he’s thirty- three, smashing records and raising standards.

Then come multiple public scandals and potentially career-ending injuries.

The once-assured champion becomes an all-American underdog. “YouTube golfer” is how his two children know their father—winless since 2013—until he wins the 2019 Masters, his fifteenth major, before their eyes.

But the story doesn’t end there.

Tiger, Tiger is the first full-scale Woods biography of the decade. In James Patterson’s hands, this story is a hole-in-one thriller.

Nothing really new

Thorough, chronological account of the known life of Tiger Woods. If you are much of a golf fan you won't hear anything new about Tiger. Lots of researching of past information was probably hard work though. I expected more from James Patterson. Read/listen to Hank Haney's book to get a little behind the scenes info about Tiger. Performer should learn correct pronunciations.

Interesting

Very interesting about Tiger Woods. Went into a lot more detail about him growing up and then his scandals.

Lots of information but such a favorable biography as to make it a puff piece. Reader’s mistakes makes it humorous

Patterson provides lots of new and interesting information. The incredible amount of information is the books great redeeming feature. It is such a friendly biography, that never holds Tiger accountable. Tigers affairs are only briefly mentioned. There is no discussion of Tigers very poor record in the Ryder Cup.

It’s disappointing and seems to have been written, purely to burnish peoples image of Tiger Woods.

The reader, clearly doesn’t know anything about golf, consequently his mispronunciations of golfers’ names actually makes it humorous. He keeps pronouncing Seve as Steve; and José Maria’s last name is badly mangled.

Basics with some interesting tidbits

Overall it’s not much we didn’t know. Some interesting stories from Tiger’s friends but again nothing most golf fans haven’t heard. The narrator clearly is not a golf guy. He often mispronounces names, golf courses and trophies. Patterson is a great writer but he should have listened to audio before releasing.

Great book!

Iwas pleasantly surprised to see that James Patterson (one of my favorite authors) was the author of this, it did not disappoint. It was wonderful to have some insight into Tiger’s journey. I recommend this for all Tiger fans.

Tiger is human

From watching Tiger playing golf on TV, always thought he was from another planet. He actually is a determined, disciplined, inspiring human being, that prioritizes family before anything else.
Thanks for sharing this book.
A+

Should have asked a golfer to narrate

The story is very good but the narration is terrible. Most of the golf course names and golf terminology are mispronounced. If the narrator called Seve Ballesteros “Steve” one more time I was going to stop listening.

Really great history lesson but bad pronunciation.

Was really excited about this and it was good but the narrator said so many names incorrectly it was infuriating.

Very thorough and enlightening.

It was a good overview of Tiger's life and career. It would have been better with a narrator who has ever watched or played golf. At least do a pronunciation review before publication.

It felt like the book was read "cold' with no preparation. Same name/term would be pronounced differently. Many golf terms and players' names were butchered... STEVE Ballestrros? Tony Fin-now? aZINGer? Many others. Get a sports/golf analyst from NBC or ESPN to re recoed it.

Narrator mispronouncing too often

The story is basically a chronological review of tiger’s career no real personal insights
But the constant mispronouncing of players’ names, course names and even the name of the trophies was irritating
