Tiger Woods dubs new autobiography to be his 'definitive story'

Publishers Harper Collins has announced that it has acquired world rights to Tiger Wood's authored memoir 'Back'.

Harper Collins describes Back as "a candid and intimate narrative of an outsize American life: from growing up a celebrated golfing prodigy to shattering centuries-old racial barriers as a young pro; from rising to unprecedented fame and global icon status to battling devastating injuries and personal issues; from enduring years of physical anguish to mounting an astonishing comeback at 43 years old, culminating with the 2019 Masters, where his thrillingly impossible victory captured the imagination and hearts of people around the world."

The memoir is the only account of events to be directly from Tiger himself, with full co operation of his family, friends, and inner circle.

Speaking about it, Woods said: “I’ve been in the spotlight for a long time, and because of that, there have been books and articles and TV shows about me, most filled with errors, speculative and wrong.

"This book is my definitive story. It’s in my words and expresses my thoughts. It describes how I feel and what’s happened in my life.

"I’ve been working at it steadily, and I’m looking forward to continuing the process and creating a book that people will want to read.”

While no date has been announced for its publication, the book will be available across all Harper Collins locations.
