What I knew about Tiger Woods was what I read online. This was an interesting book about his life. I'm not a huge golf fan, but I enjoyed learning about his life.
This was just was in IMO. I found the parts about Tiger's personal interesting, also about his early interest in golf. When this book became too heavy on his golf games/golf terms I started to lose interest....
The downfall of Woods because of his cheating scandal and DUI gave the humanizing factor it needed. Just because you have fame and fortune, doesn't make you invisible, it makes you human. ..
I did not read this cover to cover, I jumped around to get to the good parts because it was much longer than it needed to be.
Ok read if you are into golf but not Patterson's best nonfiction book.
THanks to Netgalley, James Patterson and Little Brown and Company for an ARC in exchange for an honest revirew.

My grandma wasn’t into sports or golf, but she LOVED Tiger Woods and would watch him play. She even had a magnet with him on it on her fridge, so anything about him automatically makes me think of her. With that being said, I was very excited to read this book. It’s a timeline of his life, so the first 25% of it was a little slow for me, but then picked up during his teenage years when he really started getting famous. James Patterson wrote this well, and Tiger didn’t hold back, the bad things are included in here too.
This book I found really interesting. Because for one I didn't know much about Tiger except for him being a great golfer and whatever happened with his issues in the public eye.
I actually did enjoy learning that he started out at five years old and really started getting out there not long afterwards. And knowing his parents never pushed him to do this for a career.
And to learn that in some places people still wouldn't allow African American people to play golf at their businesses. Which I find still ridiculous, because people are people to me.
Anyhow Tiger definitely went through so much and di so much for the golfing community and broke so many records. Which of course I had no idea. And him starting the non profit organization and such.
He learned so much from the pros and still keeps learning. His parents I believe were for sure a big part of him loving the game. You have to really really love something to go through all of the surgeries and pain just to keep playing. And it's pretty cool how his kids have fun playing and his son Charlie is taking it to another level.
If you are like me and don't know much about Tiger Woods and everything he has went through while through life, golf,family you may enjoy this book especially the little things about how the golfing community seems to look out for the younger generation. Or if you like Tiger Woods and want to know more then what you didn't know pick this book up.
f you follow golf at all you pretty much know Tiger Woods and his origin story.
From seeing him on Michael Douglas as a small boy, to watching him win tournament after tournament with seeming ease.
He always seemed genuine and humble. While at the same time showing his confidence in his game.
This then, is Tiger's view of his life. How he shot to superstardom and just as quickly fell from grace after multiple cheating scandals and the break up of his family.

Tiger, Tiger is an unputdownable thriller that chronicles Tiger Woods’s remarkable journey both on and off the course—from idolizing Jack Nicklaus to his triumphant golf comeback.
