Written by Shane Ryan, the author of this New York Times Best Seller is also the golf writer for Bill Simmons’ Grantland. In the intriguing book, Slaying the Tiger: A Year Inside the Ropes on the New PGA Tour, Ryan embeds himself on the PGA Tour, spending a season alongside the rising stars transforming the game.
His book weighs heavily on the popularity that Tiger Woods has had with fans of golf while he also introduces a new crop of heirs apparent who are storming the barricades of this traditionally old-fashioned sport. The future of golf has relied on Tiger Woods so exclusively for so long, that he’s become a sort of one-man bubble. Everything in golf seems to fall back to the word ‘Tiger’: sponsorships, prize money, endorsements, Tour tickets, and more. But what happens when the bubble bursts? Are the new players dynamic enough, great enough to fill the void? this book gives you an insider’s account of the game’s new young guns.
