In a world captivated by his unparalleled prowess on the green and a persona that transcended the sport itself, Tiger Woods was the emblem of perfection in a life that seemed as flawless as his swing. Yet, beneath the facade of trophies and triumphant roars lay a tumultuous reality, a man living a double existence that unraveled spectacularly in the public eye. Jeff Benedict's "Tiger Woods" delves beyond the sensational headlines, piecing together the enigmatic puzzle of a man who was at once a global icon and a profound mystery. Through exhaustive research and over four hundred interviews with those who were closest to Woods—many speaking out for the first time—Benedict paints a starkly revealing and deeply human portrait of a figure who was crafted from childhood to be "the chosen one," not just in golf, but as a beacon of change in the world. What does it cost to bear the weight of greatness? Benedict and his co-author Armen Keteyian probe this question, presenting a narrative that is as much about the making of a legend as it is about the unmaking of a man. "Tiger Woods" is not just a biography but a saga of ambition, sacrifice, and vulnerability, set against the backdrop of a sport and a society grappling with profound changes. It is a story that is as compelling as it is complex, offering no easy answers but instead a vivid, immersive, and ultimately human examination of a life that embodies both the brightest and darkest aspects of fame. In their hands, the tale of Tiger Woods becomes an unforgettable exploration of what it means to pay the price of greatness, inviting readers to look beyond the headlines and into the heart of what makes us all human.

He loved him and considered him his best friend, yet he hated some of the things he did.
