And for Tiger Woods, getting back to the winner's circle was only half the story. Written by a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author and reporter who \"knows the world of professional golf...like few others\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e) comes \"the most insightful and evenhanded book written yet about one of the signature athletes of the last twenty-five years\" (\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review).\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTiger Woods's long descent into a personal and professional hell reached bottom in the early hours of Memorial Day in 2017. Woods's DUI arrest that night came on the heels of a desperate spinal surgery, just weeks after he told close friends he might never play tournament golf again. His mug shot and alarming arrest video were painful to look at and, for Woods, a deep humiliation. The former paragon of discipline now found himself hopelessly lost and out of control, exposed for all the world to see. That episode could have marked the beginning of Tiger's end. It proved to be the opposite. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInstead of sinking beneath the public disgrace of drug abuse and the private despair of a battered and ailing body, Woods embarked on the long road to redeeming himself. In \u003ci\u003eThe Second Life of Tiger Woods\u003c\/i\u003e, Michael Bamberger, who has covered Woods since the golfer was an amateur, draws upon his deep network of sources inside locker rooms, caddie yards, clubhouses, fitness trailers, and back offices to tell the true and inspiring story of the legend's return. Packed with new information and graced by insight, Bamberger's story reveals how this iconic athlete clawed his way back to the top. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a \"gripping\" (\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e) and intimate portrait of a man who has spent his life in front of the camera but has done his best to make sure he was never really known. Here is Tiger, barefoot, in handcuffs, showing a police officer a witty and self-deprecating side of himself that the public never sees. Here is Tiger on the verge of tears with his children at the British Open. Here is Tiger trying to express his gratitude to his mother at a ceremony at the Rose Garden. In these pages, Tiger is funny, cold, generous, self-absorbed, inspiring--and real. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Second Life of Tiger Woods \u003c\/i\u003eis not only the saga of an exceptional man but also a celebration of second chances.
