Publisher's Note Tiger Woods: The Makings of a Champion is written by award-winning golf writer Tim Rosaforte, a senior writer at Sports Illustrated, who has closely followed his subject since Tiger was fourteen and first competed in the PGA Junior Championship. This exciting behind-the-scenes examination of Tiger looks specifically at the most crucial time in Woods's young career: the enormous pressure he was under to win his third straight U.S. Amateur title; his decision to turn professional; and his stunning initial success, winning two PGA titles in just seven outings.
Industry Reviews Woods, the 20-year-old phenomenon selected as Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year, is examined by a sports writer. Ives
YA Writing about 21-year-old Tiger Woods is like writing about advances in computer design the material is dated as soon as it is published. Written prior to his winning of the 1997 Masters tournament, this book tells about Woods's swing to success throughout his childhood and teen years. The young man's life is quite interesting in and of itself; Rosaforte, former golf reporter for Sports Illustrated, adds to the compelling story with his mix of play-by-play action and dramatic retelling of some of Woods's tough decisions. Readers will be fascinated throughout by the athlete's mental strength, intelligence, good nature, and his genius for the game. An inspiring story, not just for sports fans.
