Tiger Woods Writing A Book

With all that time on his hands Tiger Woods may be going a little stir crazy. After all how many soccer games and rehab can one man take?

To break up the boredom Tiger has decided to write a book. Yes, he of the closed mouth, reserved answers and and cherished privacy is writing a book.tiger 97 masters

Now, don’t get too excited. Tiger isn’t going the full Monty here. He won’t be dishing about his entire life so there won’t be any mea culpa for his past “transgressions” that toppled him from the highest of pedestals.

Rather, Tiger will be focusing on one of his greatest victories, the 1997 Masters where he kicked major ass, won by twelve shots and set the golf world on its collective butt.

Golf was changed forever and Tiger was on his way to becoming a global icon.

If he had to choose one major victory to tell his story this is the oneFrom a press release on his website:

The book, Woods’ first since his 2001 book, “How I Play Golf,” will explore Woods’ history with the game, the tournament itself, how golf has changed over the last 20 years and what it was like winning. Woods will open up about his relationship with father Earl Woods, dispel previous misconceptions and will candidly reveal many more stories that have never been told before. 

“The 1997 Masters was one of the most important tournaments in my life for many reasons,” Tiger said. “I think about the hug with my dad and all the events that went on that week. A lot of people know generally about that tournament, but this gives me a chance to tell in detail what happened on and off the course.”

Hey, if Tiger finally wants to “open up” that’s great and getting some insights from one of the greatest golfers ever would be interesting.

But Tiger will need to come out of his protective shell and truly open up. He couldn’t have a better “co-writer” in Lorne Rubenstein of Moe & Me and A Season in Dornoch fame.

Woods already has a good relationship with Rubenstein. He gave him an exclusive interview for Time Magazine in 2015.

Woods was twenty one when he won that Masters and every man is different at forty than he was at twenty one.

Maybe Tiger is sensing his mortality and has mellowed a bit. Heck, you don’t go through what he has gone through both on and off the course and not be changed. Or maybe he needs another project other than his ailing back. What ever the reason this could be interesting.

Rubenstein may need to draw Tiger out a little and if he does and there are some new candid stories and insights to Tiger and the way things were back then it could be a worthy read.

We’ll just have to see if the book lives up to what was promised.
