More about the book
Earl Woods faced criticism in 1996 for proclaiming his son Tiger's potential as messianic, raising questions about parental ambition in sports. David Owen explores the dynamic between father and son, suggesting that it may have been Tiger's inherent greatness that inspired Earl's guidance, rather than mere parental pressure. This perspective challenges the stereotype of the overbearing sports parent and invites readers to reconsider the influence of talent and ambition in shaping a champion's journey.
