The Year of the Tiger

“Brody Miller is a terrific reporter who always has a wonderful knack for finding details and story threads that often go overlooked. His deep dive into the Tiger Slam should be a must-read for any sports fan not just die-hard golf fanatics because there will never be another golfer—or sports figure—quite like Tiger, and it’s an ideal time, a quarter century later, to revisit such a remarkable sports feat.” — Bruce Feldman, bestselling author of The QB”Thanks to his meticulous attention to detail and his beautiful prose, Brody Miller takes us inside the most dominant stretch of golf the sport has ever seen. Miller expertly weaves in the technical—how Woods literally tinkered with and tweaked his swing to take him from very good to impossibly great—with the historical significance of the feats and the way the rest of the world reacted to witnessing them. A must-read for those who have followed every fist bump over the years as well as those who simply want to understand what it takes to achieve unparalleled excellence.” — Nicole Auerbach, NBC Sports CFB insider”From Tiger’s blunt, four-word message to his coach, Butch Harmon, after working through a much-debated swing change in 1999—”Butchie, I got it”—to revealing (and oftentimes testy) on-course interactions between Woods and his longtime caddy, Steve Williams, to an indelibly human moment from Woods after he triumphed at the 2001 Masters—cementing his fourth straight major championship victory—The Year of the Tiger offers an unforgettable portrait of a generational athlete who, for a magical, 10-month stretch, conquered an unconquerable game.” — Zak Keefer, national features writer for The Athletic
