    "I had no interest in trashing him": James Patterson on why he needed to tell Tiger Woods' story

    "I just wanted to tell the story and let people figure out."

    When the "story" in question is recapping the entire life and career of an athlete as illustrious — and scrutinized — as professional golfer Tiger Woods, the stakes are considerably high. 

    If anyone's up to the task, it's James Patterson.

    "He's an important figure in history."

    "Tiger, Tiger," the uber-prolific best-selling author's latest book (July 15, Little Brown and Company), strays from his thriller-heavy fiction portfolio. It's a biography born out of Patterson's general enjoyment of golf — he's already penned a fiction series centered on a burgeoning pro golfer — and the shared knowledge that Woods as a major figure.

    Legacy and the legends: Tiger Woods’ achievements at the Masters place him among the all-time greats at Augusta National

    On an otherwise bright day of December 2015 in the Bahamas, where soft breezes off the sparkling waters pleasantly mixed with warm temperatures, a dark, depressing cloud emerged in the form of a hobbled, subdued Tiger Woods.

    Once a relentlessly intense and invincible force who spent a record 683 weeks as the world’s top-ranked player, made a record 142 consecutive cuts on the PGA Tour, won 14 major championships in 12 years and was sitting on 79 PGA Tour titles, Woods delivered grim news ahead of the Hero World Challenge.

    He didn’t know what his future held.

    Three microdiscectomy procedures to his back in the previous 18 months had provided short-term relief but little long-term stability. His 2014 and 2015 were painfully abysmal, his troublesome back leading to just one top-10, six missed cuts and three withdrawals in 20 events.
