摘要

The first 150 pages of Tiger Woods, an exhaustively researched biography of golf s biggest star, could be plucked out of a heartwarming children's movie: A young man of modest means, and a person of color as well, conquers the elite world of golf through hard work and steadfast vision. At 21 he wins his first professional major tournament, the 1997 Masters, by a record-shattering 12 strokes. On the final green at Augusta National Golf Club, our hero's father, Earl, embraces him and whispers, "I love you, son, and I'm so proud of you."
