Dwight GarnerThere 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
Jeffrey ToobinMeticulously 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
Leigh MontvilleIrresistible . . . 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

Jay BilasRemarkable, and a compelling roller coaster ride about one of my favorite persons. Great book
The Washington PostJohn Feinstein’s new biography of the golfer and commentator is rich with anecdotes and a glimpse of his darker side…. John Feinstein’s entertaining new book, Feherty, captures it all — and adds a few moreover-the-top tales to the Feherty legend…. Feinstein writes in a book that shows, again, the author’s ability to get his subjects to open up
