Bethel's Byrd's Books Welcomes New York Times Best Selling Author Jeff Benedict on June 7

Byrd's Books in Bethel Welcomes New York Times Best Selling Author Jeff Benedict on June 7 to discuss and sign his new book Tiger Woods on Thursday, June 7

In 2009, Tiger Woods was the most famous athlete on the planet, a transcendent star of almost unfathomable fame and fortune living what appeared to be the perfect life. But it was all a carefully crafted illusion. As it turned out, Woods had been living a double life for years–one that unraveled in the aftermath of a Thanksgiving-night car crash that sent his personal and professional lives over a cliff. Still, the world has always wondered: Who is Tiger Woods, really?

For answers, Connecticut author, Jeff Benedict, will be on hand at Bethel's Byrd's on Thursday, June 7th, 7:00pm to 9:00pm, to discuss and sign Tiger Woods, his extraordinary new biography, co-authored with Armen Keteyian. Destined to become the defining book about this authentic American legend, Tiger Woods provides in-depth answers. Byrd's Books is located at 126 Greenwood Avenue, across from P.T. Barnum Square, in Bethel. Seating space is limited. To save a spot and/or pre-order the book for signing, go to https://conta.cc/2rSFkyP

Compiled from hundreds of interviews with people from every facet of Woods’s life–friends, family members, teachers, romantic partners, coaches, business associates, physicians, Tour pros, and members of Woods’s inner circle, Tiger Woods is an extensive, carefully sourced and researched profile, that uncovers new, intimate, and surprising details about the man behind the myth. The portrait of Woods that emerges in Tiger Woods is far more rewarding than revelations alone. By tracing his life from its origins as the mixed-race son of an attention-seeking father and the original Tiger Mom–who programmed him to be “the chosen one,” tasked with changing not just the game of golf but the world as well–the authors provide a wealth of new insight into the human being trapped inside his parents’ creation. And we are reminded, time and time again, of Woods’s singular greatness and the exhilaration we felt watching an athletic genius dominate his sport for nearly twenty years. But at what cost? The answers will linger in the minds of readers for years to come.
