Tiger Woods memoir "Back"

[puttingmatt]

Are we not sure Tiger is just going to be writing about his physical troubles with his back,

Hence the Title ? Kind of see this as a narrative to his own retirement, write a book while

Your relevant in your sport, personally, he could have waited on a biography, even 50 years

Out, He will always be relavent.

[gators78]

The only way this book makes any sense is if it starts with his post accident apology press conference and his path back to winning golf, I bet he won't even touch the affair or any type of reflection on his father.

Maybe it's a memoir describing all 4 "back" surgeries.

[TorreyPines]

Love TW, he’s easily my favourite athlete of all-time, but he’s always been very economical with the truth to put it mildly so I doubt this will reveal much.

 

I don't think he can get away with _not_ mentioning the affairs, pill addiction etc but he'll only touch upon them briefly. He'll write a page or so about the regret he feels for hurting Elin and a page about his shame over the DUI, but just go on to say that these failings made him strive to be a better person and that he'll keep trying to be a better person every day for the rest of his life.

 

The most interesting topic would be his take on the combination of factors that make it likely he dabbled with HGH/steroids etc between circa 2005-2009, but there's about as much chance of him admitting taking them as me winning next year's Masters, so it'll just be a swift denial, perhaps accompanied by the statement Keith Klaven put out in the 'Tiger' book that came out last year.

 

On a semi-unrelated note, I've always found it weird that something as humiliating as the 2009 scandal didn't really humble TW or make him a better person, yet the DUI did (at least I hope it has and it's not all just PR posturing).

 

Will still read though haha :p

[Darth Putter]

I'd be interested if the title was "Tiger Woods' True PGA Tour Stories."

 

Sadly, Charlie Murphy isn't still alive to do the audio book.

 

but Dave is...

You think the dui did? Honestly to me looked like it wasn't that big of a deal to him. He was taking those different meds to help his back pain and sleeping with it.

All the tiger in print I cared about was the Norm Clarke gossip column were he regularly reported on the shenanigans, poor tipping (as already pointed out here, and first hand accounts told to me by casino employees) etc.

I think he did seem to change for the better after the DUI, at least going by the tone of his pressers. They're pretty genial most of the time now and far less curt than before, apart from when he's really pissed about finishing a round on a bad note.

 

He's also seemed to acknowledge the crowd much more often since his return at the start of '18, and show more appreciation in the numerous thanks he's given them for supporting him through years of surgeries/inactivity etc.

 

But the question is whether this is genuine or all PR-inspired? I don't know the answer to this, but like to believe (perhaps naively) that he's grown as a person in the last couple of years.

All I pretty much read are biographies and auto biographies.

He can do a tell some and sanitize the some I tell you. He'll tell us all about pain pills because of his back and going into rehab and what it was like there and what it's like to travel and work his schedule etc.e etc. etc.

Not sure what four **** mean but you don't think many people consider a guy juggling over a dozen girls at once while simultaneously being a top pro, dad, husband and company CEO is a big deal? Whoa, I guess that's just another day in the life for many. I had no idea. I also Have no idea the amount of times he's been married has to do with anything? Rich athlete cheats on wife, oh well. Yeah beacause so many have run international sexcapades like he did with each girl receiving a freak fest unique to them.

 

I could argue all day long, that how he juggled the girls and his life might be the only thing interesting about him and if it's not the only thing then it's certainly the most interesting thing about him.

I think he means that he's not the first legendary athlete/celebrity to score tons of chicks.

 

In another era without all the media, he'd be Frank Sinatra, Mickey Mantle, or

 

some say...Arnold Palmer, including his own daughter,
