Quick Summary

Discover how a kid named Eldrick swapped his first name for "Tiger" and grew up to dominate the golf world before most people finish middle school. Readers get the inside scoop on Tiger's childhood pranks, his legendary practice sessions that drove his dad crazy, and the moment he stared down the world's best golfers as a twenty-something underdog. If your kid devours the "Who Was?" series or dreams of making it big in sports, this book serves up the same biographical excitement with real life golf drama. Perfect for kids ages 9 to 13 in grades 4 through 8 who can handle a 7th grade reading level.
