Curt Sampson SIGNED Chasing Tiger Woods PGA 2002 First Edition Hardcover w/GOA
Up for bids is this 2002 first edition hardcover version of Chasing Tiger, which was written AND signed by Curt Sampson and is in GOOD condition (NOT a library book; NO reminder marks; NO punch holes).
All eat from the bowl of life. Tiger Woods just has a bigger spoon.
So writes Curt Sampson in his ground-breaking account of the current
state of golf. Tiger Woods has changed golf forever. His mix of power
and skill combines with his extraordinary business savvy to make Woods
the biggest global sports figure since Michael Jordan. Like Jordan,
Woods' competitive signature is equal parts inspiration and
intimidation.
But what about the other guys? It's either catch up or give up for the rest of the golfing world, and in Chasing Tiger
Curt Sampson exuberantly charts the state of the game as the new
century unfolds. There are Duval and Mickelson and a host of other
stars, of course, but there are also the junior golfers and their
parents, corporate America, agents, instructors, fans, and the media.
Just as he did in his controversial bestsellers Hogan and The Masters,
Sampson digs deep to uncover stories that wouldn't otherwise be told.
There's the golf course employee in Austin whose admiration for Woods
leads him to spend every waking minute mimicking his hero (including the
trademark pumping fist, only here it's on the practice green). There's
the awestruck unemployed talk show host who stretches the bounds of good
taste and hero worship with his Web site, Tigerwoodsisgod.com. At the
other end of the scale is Charles Howell III, skinny as a 2-iron, a
up-and-coming player who has been tapped by Jack Nicklaus to be the next
great challenge to Woods. Howell is the anti-Tiger: a man unfailingly
friendly to fans and media, recently married, opinionated, and entirely
lacking in caution, yet he struggles to earn enough money to make the
Tour.
Curt Sampson has written an affectionate yet wary account of one extraordinary man's impact on the world of sport. By turns moving, hilarious, and eye-opening, Chasing Tiger is a wonderful addition to the golf canon.
