Advance Praise for Roaring Back "As I said live on the air, Tiger Woods’ victory at the 2019 Masters marked the completion of one of the great comebacks in any sport, all-time. In Roaring Back, Curt Sampson admirably details all the highs and lows that led him to that historic moment. Like Tiger’s performance in Augusta, it’s a book for the ages.” ― Jim Nantz, CBS Sports "If it were possible to clone Ring Lardner and Sinclair Lewis―with a dusting of the late Dan Jenkins for seasoning―you might come close to creating Curt Sampson. In Roaring Back, Sampson artfully charts the pain-filled odysseys of the game's greatest Comeback Kids from Ben Hogan to Tiger Woods, whose wrenchingly public fall from grace sets up a strikingly human tale of rebirth that illustrates why we Americans are born suckers a good resurrection story. This unflinching chronicle puts Tigermania in much-needed, clear-eyed perspective. It's a helluva fun read, as well." ― James Dodson, bestselling author of Final Rounds and American Triumvirate "I have known Tiger Woods since he was sixteen years old and borne witness, first hand, to his dramatic rise, fall, and redemption. Many writers have tried and failed to capture Tiger's mercurial essence over the years, but Curt Sampson does so here magnificently. Roaring Back is the literary equivalent of a championship putt." ― Peter Jacobsen, Golf Channel/NBC Sports "More words have been written trying to capture the heart and mind of the enigmatic Tiger Woods than any other golfer in history, including members of a legendary foursome: Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. Curt Sampson has been aggressively chasing Tiger for more than twenty years. In Roaring Back, he at last lays bare, through wry, observant prose, the truth of the man whose singular greatness inspired an entire generation of golfers and whose extraordinary comeback inspired the world." ― Don Van Natta, Jr., bestselling author of First Off The Tee and Wonder Girl Praise for Curt Sampson "Jack Nicklaus may own six green jackets, but no one has captured the Masters like [Curt] Sampson." ― The (Baton Rouge) Advocate “The old sports writing axiom says, ‘The smaller the ball, the better the writing,’ and Sampson certainly has chops commensurate with golf's small sphere…. Sampson's connections in the sport are on par with his authorial flair….Sampson is best at capturing the details the smell of pine straw on a course or the flush on the back of a pressured participant's neck as only a golf aficionado and ace writer can.” ― Publishers Weekly "This crisp account [and] vivid retelling of what happened in Augusta in April 2019...will have fans reliving the improbable moments of that inspirational final round....An essential bit of golf history and a fine warm-up for Woods' forthcoming memoir."―Booklist Curt Sampson is one of America’s leading golf writers and the author of eighteen books, among them New York Times bestsellers The Masters and Hogan. Some subjects of his include Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Ben Crenshaw, and Lee Trevino, golf titans in Sampson’s orbit since his own golf pro days. He has written for Sports Illustrated, Golf Digest, Golf magazine, and Golf world, among other notable publications. Come April he’s with the crowds in Augusta, Georgia, but otherwise resides in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Texas.
One publicly imploded marriage. Two car accidents. Eight surgeries. And now, a miracle of hard work and storied talent: five Masters wins. Once hailed as “the greatest closer in history” before he fell further than any beloved athlete in America’s memory, Tiger swung at the world’s wildest expectations and beat the skeptics with his April 2019 championship. Roaring Back traces his road to Augusta and the improbable, phenomenal comeback of one of the greatest golfers in history.
New York Times bestselling author Curt Sampson details the highs and lows of Woods’s career in three gripping acts. From his startling loss at the 2009 PGA Championship, detrimental obsession with his swing, and that infamous night involving an ex-wife and a nine-iron…to adoring fans and lucrative sponsors turning their backs, exclusive interviews with past instructors and PGA tour peers, and an arrest complete with a toxicology report…finally to Tiger coming from behind for his fifth green jacket as the crowd rumbled in Georgia, and how his comeback rivals those of the most dramatic in his sport.
Sampson also places Woods’s defeats and triumphs in the context of historic comebacks by other notable golfers like Ben Hogan, Skip Alexander, Aaron Silton, and Charlie Beljan, finding the forty-three-year-old alone on the green for his trajectory of victory against all odds. As this enthralling book reveals, Tiger never doubted the perseverance of the winner in the mirror.
Funny, fast read Gotta disagree with the first review... I found the author’s insights into the world of golf beyond Tiger made the book a much more interesting read than a straight recitation of the facts would have been. And, of course, there was a LOT about TW. Besides that, the book was clever and funny—reminded me of reading Dan Jenkins.Struggles to stay on point. When the author is actually discussing Tiger, it is a brilliantly written book with plenty of behind the scenes information. But, so much of this books is spent talking about other people’s great comebacks. And while yes some of them are good stories, I bought a book about Tiger. I don’t want to read filler pages about Ben Hogan and other people who I’ve never even heard of. I want the Tiger story, and that’s it. But as I said the Tiger material is great
