Product Description
A study of professional men's golf told through the lives of its defining players: Tiger Woods, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. Tiger Woods is the most famous and best-paid sports figure in the world, Arnold Palmer is the father of modern golf, and Jack Nicklaus is the game's greatest champion - together their lives encapsulate the real story of golf at the highest level. In this book Howard Sounes has had access to the players and their closest associates - including Earl Woods and other members of Tiger's family, his friends, girlfriends, caddies and coaches, Palmer and Nicklaus themselves, Gary Player, Tony Jacklin, Tom watson and Mark McCormack. The resulting book contains many revalations about the personal lives, rivalries, the wealth, business deals and the secrets of these men, as well as the murky background history of a game marred by racism and sexism. For the first time the complete and true story of Tiger Woods and his family background is untangled. More than a conventional sports book, "The Wicked Game" is a story of talent, fame, wealth and power.
