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.
