A New Biography Traces Tiger Woods’s Mythical Rise and Fall

• Share full article

By Dwight Garner

• March 19, 2018

There have been many biographies of Tiger Woods, and surely there will be many more. Some are friendly and shyly philosophical, like David Owen’s early “The Chosen One,” from 2001. Others are curmudgeonly and expert about golf, like Tom Callahan’s “His Father’s Son” (2010).

Amid these books, “Tiger Woods,” the new biography from Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian, rides in as if on 18 wheels, for better and only occasionally worse. It’s a confident and substantial book that’s nearly as sleek as a Christopher Nolan movie. It makes a sweet sound, like a well-struck golf ball.

I found it exhilarating, depressing, tawdry and moving in almost equal measure. It’s a big American story that rolls across barbered lawns and then leaves you stranded in some all-night Sam’s Club of the soul. It reminded me of a line from Martin Amis’s new book of essays: “How drunk was Scott Fitzgerald when he said there were no second acts in American lives?”

The authors have hoovered up everything there is to be learned from previous writing about Woods, and then interviewed more than 250 people on their own. (They declined to interview Woods after he set draconian conditions.) They bring grainy new detail to almost every aspect of Woods’s life.

Better, they have a knack for scene-setting. They tuck us inside Woods’s private plane as the desert gives way to Las Vegas’s megaresorts to open a chapter about Woods’s exploits in that city, sometimes with Michael Jordan or Charles Barkley in tow. They refresh old stories by telling them from new angles.

This biography begins the only way it probably could have: with the car accident at Woods’s home on the day after Thanksgiving in 2009 that precipitated his steep fall from grace. He groggily ran over hedges and curbs and smashed into a fire hydrant after his wife, Elin, who had learned of his adultery, apparently smashed his S.U.V. windows with a golf club.

At the time, Elin didn’t know the half of it. Woods’s paramours (strippers, waitresses, neighbors) began popping up from behind every swizzle stick. The scandal was on the cover of The New York Post for 21 consecutive days; each issue was so sleazy you wanted to pick it up with tongs. (The Sept. 11 attacks, by contrast, managed only 20 straight covers.) This was a purge of schadenfreude. Many were delighted to see this ostensible paragon of virtue take a fall.

Woods, the greatest athlete of our time, has not won a major tournament since. But he is healthy and playing well and has his sights on the Masters in a few weeks. This story might easily have another twist.

Benedict is a writer for Sports Illustrated. Keteyian is a CBS News correspondent. Together they are the authors of a previous book, “The System: The Glory and Scandal of Big-Time College Football” (2013).

In “Tiger Woods” they take special aim at Woods’s parents, especially Earl Woods, Tiger’s father. They raised a champion. They also raised a narcissistic loner who lacked basic decency. “Even the most basic human civilities — a simple hello or thank you — routinely went missing from his vocabulary. A nod was too much to expect.”

This book is littered with the bodies of those Woods cut out of his life without a thank you or goodbye — girlfriends, coaches, agents, caddies. If you stripped most of the golf out of this book, you might sometimes think you are reading the biography of a sociopath, a nonmurderous Tom Ripley or Patrick Bateman or Svidrigailov from “Crime and Punishment.”

Earl Woods, the worst kind of stage father, profited early and often from his son’s career. He was a liar and an adulterer. The later years of his life were particularly sordid. He hired multiple young women to attend to his needs.

“Pornography played steadily on the television,” the authors write. “Sex toys were stuffed in drawers, and sexual favors were performed at Earl’s request. ‘It was a house of horrors,’ recalled a former employee. ‘Every drawer. Every cabinet.’”

There is beauty and awe in this perfectly pitched biography, as we watch Woods’s skills blossom. Woods was shy and nerdy in his first years of high school. No one knew of his golf exploits. The moment here in which an early girlfriend, Dina Gravell, watches him play for the first time is terrific. It’s as if she’s discovered that he’s Harry Potter.

Lovely too is the scene the authors set when Woods wins his first Masters. Woods looks up — at this tournament in which the first black man, Lee Elder, played in 1975 — and “witnesses the abundance of black people from the Augusta staff who had left their posts and assembled on the lawn and the veranda on the second floor.”

Many other details accrue. The authors tally up the lies Woods has told the media since he was young. There’s little evidence, for example, that he was mugged while at Stanford as he claimed. They marshal evidence that raises questions about whether or not Woods took illegal performance-enhancing drugs. There is good writing here about agents and ad campaigns.

If this book has a flaw it may be that it’s too confident. Reading it can be like watching one of those crime shows in which the bumper music ends with slamming car doors. The authors move about like a supersleuth Starsky and Hutch, or Tango and Cash, or Crockett and Tubbs. To be fair, a bit of wit and play are allowed to sneak in.

Who is Tiger Woods? The authors don’t get to the bottom of that question, but does anyone really expect that they could? Woods himself doesn’t appear to have a clue.

Whom the gods will destroy, Cyril Connolly said, they first call promising. This intense book gives us Woods’s almost mythical rise and fall. It has torque and velocity, even when all of Woods’s shots, on the course and off it, begin heading for the weeds.

Raves and Reviews

“Irresistible . . . Immensely readable . . . The authors have laid out a saga that is part myth, part Shakespeare, part Jackie Collins. . . . Benedict and Keteyian bring us along for the ride in a whirlwind of a biography that reads honest and true.” —Leigh Montville, The Wall Street Journal

“There is beauty and awe in this perfectly pitched biography . . . It has torque and velocity . . . It’s a confident and substantial book that’s nearly as sleek as a Christopher Nolan movie. It makes a sweet sound, like a well-struck golf ball. I found it exhilarating, depressing, tawdry and moving in almost equal measure. It’s a big American story. . . . The authors bring grainy new detail to almost every aspect of Woods’s life.” —Dwight Garner, The New York Times

“Comprehensive, propulsive, packed with incident . . . and unsparing.” —Ian Crouch, The New Yorker

“An ambitious 360-degree portrait of golf’s most scrutinized figure . . . The book features fresh reporting on almost every significant element of Woods’ story. . . . It is a book brimming with revealing details.” —Sam Weinman, Golf Digest

“I have been trying to write about Tiger since he was a teenager. I thought he was unknowable. This book proves me wrong. Here, finally, is Tiger Woods.” —Michael Bamberger, senior writer for Sports Illustrated and author of Men in Green

“Chilling . . . Exhaustively researched . . . The authors present Woods as a man ‘both blessed and cursed’ by his otherworldly ability to separate his off-the-course problems from his performance on it. Tiger Woods is a fascinating analysis of the former, but for golf fans—and probably for Woods himself—his worth will still be judged by the latter. . . . What Benedict and Keteyian do better than in any biography I’ve read about Woods is detail the human costs of this machine-like focus.” —John Paul Newport, Bloomberg Businessweek

“When you read Tiger Woods , you realize these are not just high-level reporting gotchas. This is Tiger’s life laid bare.” —Bryan Curtis, The Ringer

“Painstaking . . . An exhaustive dive into understanding who Tiger really is . . . Benedict and Keteyian provide extensive details.” — Financial Times

“A searing biography of golf’s most blazing talent.” — GOLF magazine

“Juicy . . . A far-reaching portrait of Tiger on and off the golf course . . . Plenty of new revelations, and incredible additional detail and insight into Tiger’s professional and personal life.” — Golf Digest

“Meticulously reported, scrupulously fair, endlessly interesting, Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian’s Tiger Woods reveals the human being long-hidden behind the golf genius. The story of Tiger’s passage from driven prodigy, to lonely hero, to disgraced celebrity is compelling, and often poignant, from first page to last.” —Jeffrey Toobin, author of American Heiress and The Nine

“If King Lear had been about golf, or if the great Russian novelists had turned their lens toward modern expectations and fame, toward the most American of fathers and sons, the result would be this book. The rise and fall and return of Tiger Woods in these pages is both mythic and poignantly small and human.” —Wright Thompson, senior writer, ESPN The Magazine

Tiger Woods is finally writing a memoir—and it has the perfect title

Tim Bradbury/Getty Images

Tiger Woods is arguably the most-written about athlete in history. But now, the 15-time major champ will finally tell his own story.

HarperCollins Publishers announced on Tuesday it has acquired the world rights to the first-ever memoir by Woods. And the title is succinctly perfect: Back .

It's an obvious nod to Woods' remarkable comeback, but, of course, it also references the part of the body that plagued the legendary golfer to the point of wondering whether he'd ever return to competitive golf. After four back surgeries, including a last-ditch fusion procedure, Woods returned to action in December of 2017. He won the 2018 Tour Championship, his first PGA Tour title in more than five years, before winning the 2019 Masters , his first major in more than a decade and his first green jacket since 2005.

Back is described by HarperCollins as "a candid and intimate narrative of an outsize American life: from growing up a celebrated golfing prodigy to shattering centuries-old racial barriers as a young pro; from rising to unprecedented fame and global icon status to battling devastating injuries and personal issues; from enduring years of physical anguish to mounting an astonishing comeback at 43 years old, culminating with the 2019 Masters, where his thrillingly impossible victory captured the imagination and hearts of people around the world." It will be the first Woods biography by Woods with full cooperation from his family and inner circle, although, he collaborated with writer Lorne Rubenstein on The 1997 Masters: My Story in a 2017 book chronicling his landmark first Masters win.

“I’ve been in the spotlight for a long time, and because of that, there have been books and articles and TV shows about me, most filled with errors, speculative and wrong. This book is my definitive story," Woods said in a statement. "It’s in my words and expresses my thoughts. It describes how I feel and what’s happened in my life. I’ve been working at it steadily, and I’m looking forward to continuing the process and creating a book that people will want to read."

Woods has been recovering from arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, but will return to action at next week's "The Challenge: Japan Skins" and at the PGA Tour's inaugural Zozo Championship.

No timetable on when the book will be released was given.

“Meeting with Tiger, speaking with him at length about the process of writing a memoir, I was delighted to discover how much he has to say, and how ready, how eager, he is to say it," said HarperCollins executive editor Shannon Welch, who will edit the book. "He’s at a place in his career and his life where he’s thinking deeply about his story, the highs and the lows, and how it all relates and connects. I think the result will be extraordinary.”

Stuarts Woods was an American novelist. He was born in Georgia in 1938 and graduated from the University of Georgia in 1959. He then enrolled in the National Guard before moving to New York to start a career in Advertising.

He then moved to London and spent a further 3 years working in advertising before deciding that he wanted a change and he began writing his first novel. It is at this time that he decided to move to Ireland where he lived a solitary life-style, only leaving his home to make money writing adverts for a local television.

He passed in 2022.

Woods moved to Ireland in the 70s and this was where he fell in love with sailing. He spent many years competing in sailing competitions and learning how to be a better sailor. He finally bought his own boat when his Grandfather died and left him some money, so he could afford it. It was then that he took sailing more seriously and spent most of 1974 learning more about sailing.

Woods began writing about his experiences in his yacht races and he was published in 1977, with the book Blue Water, Green Skipper. It seemed like he had found an ideal career based on the thing he loved most, sailing.

Changing Plans

His second book was supposed to about another boat race that he was due to take part in, but the race was cancelled due to inclement weather, so he decided to drive around the UK and write a book about his adventures in county inns.

Woods then went on to write his first novel called Chiefs. He made the mistake of selling the book to publishers unfinished because he thought he would have gotten a lot more for it had he waited until the book was finished.

Norton were the company to publish the hard back, but he felt like the company let him down because they didn’t do much to promote the book. He then contacted Bentham Books, who published the paperback and it was much more successful.

Charlton Heston

In 1983, the book was made into a tv series staring Charlton Heston and Danny Glover. It was aired by CBS over three nights and it ended up being nominated for three Emmy Awards.

The popularity of the tv show meant that more people wanted to read the books and there was renewed interest the paperback version of the books and Woods won the Edgar Award for the Best First Novel.

Series Over Standalones

Woods is one of those authors who are more focused on the series of novels over the standalone. His most popular series is the Stone Barrington Novels. He has just released his 27th novel in the series and he has written 3 more novels, which are set to be released in 2014.

Who is Stone Barrington?

Stone Barrington is a counsel for a law firm. After he finished college, he joined the police and served for 14 years on the force. He left after disagreeing with his superiors and then got a job with the law firm. The novels tell the story of his exploits so far.

In the Stone Barrington novels, Woods is often congratulated for getting the law procedures correct when he has no background in law himself. It is noticed a lot and one fan asked how he gets it all right. He indicates that he is a massive fan of law procedurals such as LA Law and Law & Order, so gets all of his knowledge from there. He has made a few friends who are Lawyers, so if he gets anything wrong, they tell him.

Holly Barker

Holly Barker is a character in another series of books that he writes. She is an ex army officer, and navy-brat. She left the army because of a sex scandal and she has to learn how to live the civilian life. She begins her new life as the Chief of Police and she learns just how dangerous her new life is.

Even though Woods has written a number of series, which focus on the life of a single character, the characters from each of the novels do crossover into other series. For example, Stone Barrington appears in the second Holly Barker novel and he also appears in the second novel of the Rick Barron novels.

Rick Barron

The Rick Barron novels are only two books deep at the moment. Rick Barron was a police detective and he was demoted after a run in with a higher officer. He gets the job as security for Centurion Pictures but finds himself in the middle of a double murder case in the time period that is said to be the golden age of Hollywood cinema.

The first Rick Barron novel, The Prince of Beverly Hills, was meant to be a standalone novel but Woods ended up writing a sequel after he was bombarded with emails from fans asking him to write another. He has no plans to write another at this moment in time.

Further TV and Movies

After Chiefs was made into a TV series, one of his other books was adapted for TV as well. Grass Roots was made into a TV series in 1993. Since then, no other books have been made for TV.

Woods indicates that he would love it for his other books to be made into movies and if a director has read one of the books and wants to buy the rights, then he encourages the writer to get in touch with his agent.

Some other books have been bought to be made into TV, but nothing ever came of it. Chiefs is available on Netflix now and has a cult following, however Woods has no plans to make more novels based on the characters in the books.

Personal Life

In his personal life, Woods loves to fly, having his own planes and he still sails regularly on his own private yacht. He had married before but it ended in divorce and little is known about this marriage. He has stated that he preferred to live the life of a bachelor, but in 2013 he fell in love and married Jeanmarie Cooper. They have three homes, which they travel between, with their dog Fred.

I just found out about Mr. Woods passing. My Mother and I have enjoyed his books for years. I just told my wife the other day I was going to start over with his books from the beginning. I have all of his books about half in hardback the rest paperbacks. Some on my Kindle. I intend to buy the rest for my Kindle, that I don’t have. My Mother passed Dec 26 2023 without knowing he had passed. They will both be missed.

I started with a couple of the audio books many years ago. As I read books now, I still hear Tony Roberts voice the characters!! Now I enjoy going to used bookstores and library sales to fill in what I’m missing. Thanks Stuart, for many happy hours of reading.

Oh, I just heard of his passing. My heart is broken and now I won’t even loan any more of his books out. I just bought one today which I assume was and is his last. R>I>P and write for them in heaven 🙂 <3

I am sorry to have just learned of Mr. Woods passing. My sincere condolences to his Family. I have spent many pleasant hours reading & rereading all of his books. Mr. Wood’s books are a treasure.

Miss Mr. Woods books very very much. His character of Stone Barrington is brilliant. I wondered if he would have eventually had Barrington and Holly Barker marry. I am re-reading all of his books. RIP

I have loved Stuart Woods books from the time I found them. I am so sorry at his passing but memories of him and his stories will never go away!

I am truly sorry to hear of his passing. Natuarally my favorite book is “Dirty Works”, and I have introduced more than 20 new fans to Mr. Woods books because of his Herbie Fisher character and I having the same name, Rest in peace, you are still here in your work

I was saddened to just learn of Mr. Woods’ passing. I have read almost all of his books. I am currently reliving the life of Stone Barrington (my fav). I absolutely love Tony Roberts on the audiobooks. I would love to see the series continued

I just finished Near Miss and must say that I was very disappointed. There was a little plot and the dialogue were short one-liners. Battles cannot compare to Stuart Woods. I am glad I got it from the library and did not waste the money buying it. I have all Stone Barrington novels in my personal library

I miss him, and knowing he is “gone” makes me miss him even more as there are no more Stone Barrington books to look forward to. He was indeed one of a kind -I’ve read ALL his books and listened to many on audio. What a wonderful legacy he has left – and thank goodness WE CAN ALL REREAD his words!

Was deeply saddened to hear Mr. Woods passed away. I have thoroughly enjoyed slowly reading all the Stone Barrington novels in order and am just starting Foul Play. I enjoyed the all the characters, Stone’s lavish lifestyle and the cross over from his other series. Sincere condolences to his family.

Started with Palindrome on a recommendation from a friend. Then Chiefs and all the Will Lee series. Now onto Holly Barker. I love that he went UGA like me, incorporates familiarities of the South like Cumberland island, small town culture, aeronautics, sailing, firearms, and how he crosses over characters. The summary should have also included how Holly Barker shows up in the Will Lee series and how the Villains (not to spoil it) also show up in a couple series. Amazing how prolific Woods was with up to 3 or 4 books a year sometimes. Rest in Peace Mr Woods. And Go Dawgs!!

I just discovered today that Stuart Woods passed away last year. I felt as though he would be here for a lifetime, but just wishful thinking. I’m quite sadded about his passing. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading his books and hope to read all before I pass. Easy reading and quite enjoyable. Thank you Mr. Woods for all the reading enjoyment you have given your fans. Hugs

Stuart Woods books are great. With a bout of Covid and the pandemic I have read 32 of his books. Looking to reading all of his work.

I GOT TURNED ON TO STUART WOODS BY THE LIBRAIAN IN MY LOCAL LIBRARY. NEEDLESS TO SAY I’VE READ ABOUT 27 OF HIS BOOKS TO DATE THRU THE PANDEMIC. MY FAVORITE IS TEDDY FAY. I’M SORRY TO HEAR OF MR. WOODS PASING, HE HAS GIVEN ME COUNTLESS HOURS OF READING PLEASURE. RIP

I am going to miss Stone Barrington…

So sorry to hear of his passing. The Stone Barrington series was very entertaining and I wonder if it will be continued with his co-writer? Also, Tony Roberts characterizations are a joy to listen to.

Love Stuart Woods writing. I am proud to say that I own ALL of his books in hardback, many of them are first editions. My Grandson will have quite am extensive library when I pass on from this world
