Roaring Back: The Fall and Rise of Tiger Woods
The incredible true story of Tiger Woods’s dramatic return to glory at the 2019 Masters following his humbling and very public personal, physical, and professional setbacks.
One publicly imploded marriage. Two car accidents. Eight surgeries. And now, a miracle of hard work and storied five Masters wins. Once hailed as “the greatest closer in history” before he fell further than any beloved athlete in America’s memory, Tiger swung at the world’s wildest expectations and beat the skeptics with his April 2019 championship. Roaring Back traces his road to Augusta and the improbable, phenomenal comeback of one of the greatest golfers in history.
New York Times bestselling author Curt Sampson details the highs and lows of Woods’s career in three gripping acts. From his startling loss at the 2009 PGA Championship, detrimental obsession with his swing, and that infamous night involving an ex-wife and a nine-iron…to adoring fans and lucrative sponsors turning their backs, exclusive interviews with past instructors and PGA tour peers, and an arrest complete with a toxicology report…finally to Tiger coming from behind for his fifth green jacket as the crowd rumbled in Georgia, and how his comeback rivals those of the most dramatic in his sport.
Sampson also places Woods’s defeats and triumphs in the context of historic comebacks by other notable golfers like Ben Hogan, Skip Alexander, Aaron Silton, and Charlie Beljan, finding the forty-three-year-old alone on the green for his trajectory of victory against all odds. As this enthralling book reveals, Tiger never doubted the perseverance of the winner in the mirror.

About the author
Curt Sampson
30 books30 followersCurt Sampson, golf professional turned golf writer, came to golf the old-fashioned way—as a caddie. He looped for his father for a few years on summer Saturday’s, then turned pro, in a manner of speaking, at age 12, as one of the scores of disheveled boys and men in the caddie pen at Lake Forest Country Club in Hudson, Ohio. His golf game developed from sneaking on LFCC at twilight, an occasionally nerve-wracking exercise because the greens keeper intimated a readiness to call the cops on trespassers. Sampson—never caught—progressed as a player and as an employee, scoring a job as starter/cart maintenance boy at age 16 at Boston Hills CC, a public course, also in Hudson. His high water mark as a young golfer was a win in the Mid- American Junior in 1970. Sampson attended Kent State University on a golf scholarship and managed a municipal course for two years following graduation, worked a couple more as an assistant pro at clubs in South Carolina and Tennessee, then bummed around as a touring pro in Canada, New Zealand, and Florida.
In November 1988, Sampson began to write full-time, mostly about the game of his father, golf. Texas Golf Legends, his first book, was collaboration with Santa Fe-based artist Paul Milosevich. Researching TGL gained Sampson introductions with people he has written about many times since: Hogan, Nelson, Crenshaw, Trevino, and a few dozen others. His next book–The Eternal Summer, a recreation of golf’s summer of 1960, when Hogan, Palmer, and Nicklaus battled–is still selling 15 years after its debut, a rarity in the publishing world. Sampson’s biography of the enigmatic William Ben Hogan struck a chord. Both Hogan and his next book, The Masters, appeared on the New York Times bestseller lists. Subsequent books and scores of magazine articles cemented Sampson’s reputation as readable and sometimes controversial writer with an eye for humor and the telling detail.

Golf is not a sport I watch much of. Admittedly, I only tune in for the final round of major tournaments; otherwise, I find watching a round of eighteen holes the perfect excuse for a nap. Yet, I can remember the 1997 Masters tournament like it was yesterday. I was in twelfth grade and the year was thankfully almost over. Our team, the Chicago Bulls, was about to start another championship playoff run. And then this young man just a little older than ourselves goes out and wallops the competition in a golf tournament. I could not help but tune in. The announcers called him “Michael Jordan in long pants”, and a few weeks later he was a guest of the Bulls at a playoff game. Those are the early positive memories I have of Tiger Woods as an athlete. This year’s Masters was the first time I tuned into a golf tournament in years, because he was in the lead on Sunday. It was turn back the clock, and the networks milked the magical moments as much as they could. Not knowing that had already been at least one hundred biographies written on Woods, I was happy to pick up the newest one by Curt Sampson as light reading for a holiday weekend. Other than than the title and cover, the Fall and Rise of Tiger Woods was a letdown.
Curt Sampson is a respected golf author, having written biographies on the who’s who of golf history including Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and their fabled head to head matchups. Sampson was not supposed to be the author of this book but joined the process when another author had pulled out. He had been down this road before during the 2000-01 tournament schedule when Sampson went on the road with the PGA Tour following Woods en route to his Tiger Slam. Woods at the time was as big a name in sports as one could get, but one thing he did not give was interviews or easy access to his training schedule. Journalists and media personnel could only see Woods for ten minutes at a time and then had to carefully craft their questions in order to obtain one quality sound bite. Due to Woods’ lack of accessibility, most, if not all, of the biographies written about him have been unsanctioned. The only quotes are the ones that had already been seen in newspapers or online, making it difficult for authors to construct a quality book. Sampson was not alone in this venture, and, as a result, my perception of Tiger Woods sunk to an even lower level had before.
Due to lack of access to Woods, Sampson had to construct this book based on events that most of his readers already knew. He told in an aside that there would be little suspense when reading, and, in my case, a lack of empathy for the title subject as well. Sampson had to write asides about the history of golf in order to have material for a complete book. Readers are treated to anecdotes about Ben Hogan, Calvin Peete, Skip Alexander, and, Babe Didricksen Zaharias. To capture the moments he is writing about in the present, Sampson also interviews current PGA Tour golfers. He even interjects asides here and there when it is all but apparent that there is not enough material for a book. There is nothing from Woods himself and the book had to be constructed without his input. It is clear that as soon as the 2019 Masters ended, publishers were scrambling to publish a book or two on this event to cash in on history even if their quality was poor at best.
I did finish this book although I did cringe at times. Tiger Woods has to be an extraordinary athlete to be able to overcome debilitating injuries in order to compete at a championship level when most are hanging up their cleats. He also had to overcome addictions at a personal level at the expense of his marriage and two kids. His daughter is the same age as my older daughter. I remember when she was born because I was living in Orlando at the time and was concerned that the security at the hospital would be at an all time high due to Woods’ presence there. Thankfully, for all parties involved, the two girls are about three weeks apart in age. Following the birth of his children and personal revelations, Woods did not win another major until 2019. He still has an outside chance to break the record for most majors won, although the one thing I did learn from this book is that the competition is as tough as ever. I want to remember Tiger Woods at his peak when he was known as Michael Jordan in long pants, not as an arrogant person. Curt Sampson might be a respected author of golf related books, but this one did not convince me of it.

It isn’t too big a stretch to consider the victory by Tiger Woods at the 2019 Masters tournament to be considered the greatest comeback in the history of sports – any sport. While that claim can be debated, no one will consider that comeback by a man whose many physical issues and personal problems were put on public display as one of the best stories of recent years. Long time golf writer Curt Sampson tells the story of Woods’ epic win and something that is hard for any golf journalist to obtain or discuss – some insight into Tiger Woods the man.
If a reader is looking for a lot of salacious details about the very public affairs of Woods that led to his divorce and subsequent treatment for sex addiction, the reader will have to look elsewhere. Sampson rarely mentions these in the book and when he does, he calls the infamous night in which Woods’ wife learned of the affairs as the “Revelation” as in Woods won the Masters nearly 10 years after the Revelation. This reviewer appreciated this as the book focused more on other aspects of Woods’ life such as his warrior demeanor - the section on his desire to be a Navy SEAL was very interesting reading.
Sampson writes about several people who were close in Woods’ inner circle during his best days in golf but are no longer a part of the circle, such as Steve Williams, Butch Harmon and of course his late father. These insights, most of which have been told in other publications or media, seemed fresh in this context and will help a reader understand the complex man that is Woods.
Sampson doesn’t leave his good writing only about Woods. His passages about the Augusta National course, especially those about the par three 12th hole during the last round of the 2019 tourney when three of the four men who were within two shots of the lead were battling to take control of the final round. Woods was the only one of the foursome (Brooks Koepka, Tony Finau and Francis Molinari were the other three) who avoided Rae’s Creek on that infamous hole of Amen Corner. It should also be noted that the reader will learn more about and actually feel a little sorry for these three excellent golfers who succumbed to Woods on that Sunday.
Finally, the ending of the book is also quite good as Sampson reminds the reader that while they are closing the book, the book on Tiger Woods’ career is not closed yet and it will be one of the great mysteries in sports to see how this develops. Will he regain that form that made him the best player in the game for nearly a decade and one that many consider to be the greatest in the history of golf, or will the 2019 Masters be a once-in-a-lifetime comeback for him? If one wants to learn more about this comeback and the complete story, this is the book to get.
I wish to thank Diversion Books for providing a copy of the book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thought the book would be more about the actual Masters. Lots of back stories. The part about the back nine on Sunday is great. Deafening roars could be heard all over the course when the score boards would show a tiger birdie. The amount of guys in the lead on the back nine was crazy too.
March 17, 2020
Haven’t given a 3* review in awhile. Feels spot-on for this one. Perhaps this is because the book is mis-titled. Instead of Roaring Back it should be called Hey, Tiger Won a Major so let me use this opportunity to complain about all the things I’ve never liked about Tiger Woods, mix in a wide variety of random stories from the world of golf that maybe have something to do with Tiger’s “Roaring Back” but mostly not and I won’t try very hard to make sense of it all (and then I’ll shoehorn in the back 9 at Augusta right at the end). Would that book have sold more copies or less?
So, that’s it. Sampson seems unable to avoid giving voice to all that he doesn’t like about Tiger. Which, ok whatever. Then he lengthens the book via any number of anecdotes he pretends are relevant to the 2019 Masters but doesn’t really do a good job of weaving into his narrative. Make no mistake, they’re interesting! But it’s as if the author of a 20+ year old book (which I own but haven’t actually read) called The Masters felt compelled to treat this Tiger book as an appendix to his original. Neat stories, terrible book structure. And then the final recap of the compelling final hours of golf are presented, and are fun, and yet there’s not much there.
What happened? My best guess is Sampson’s editors saw an obvious book opportunity after Tiger re-ascended to the mountaintop after being assumed-dead by most in golf and most of us fans. Sampson said Yes, good idea. And then he was confronted with a reality he well-knows: Tiger Woods isn’t interested in speaking at length (or in short) to him so he can craft a book, without that direct knowledge there’s no meat on the bone to feed a full book, and so he wrote one, anyway.
If you are a golf fan and a Tiger fan, it’s worth a read (but used or library this one: $27 list? My God.). Maybe you’ll think worthy of more stars than I do, perhaps less. But I’m not sure you’ll disagree* even a little with my statement ms and speculation above.
*of course you will; the world is big & everyone gets to have their own opinion

In Roaring Back The Fall and Rise of Tiger Woods by Curt Sampson I really liked the insights into the world of Tiger. It made the book a much more interesting read than a straight recitation of the facts would have been. The author included the part I wanted to read about the most, but I mean if you were going to write a book about Tiger you had to include this. It was in Part 4 about the 2019 Masters. That part was very well written and actually focused on the supposed subject of the book. Sampson doesn't always talk about Woods in this section. His passages about the Augusta National course, especially those about the par three 12th hole during the last round of the 2019 tourney when three of the four men who were within two shots of the lead were battling to take control of the final round. Woods was the only one of the foursome (Brooks Koepka, Tony Finau and Francis Molinari were the other three) who avoided Rae’s Creek on that infamous hole of Amen Corner.

FINALLY it is Masters Week, and I get to enjoy reliving Tiger's epic win in 2019. I am not ashamed to say that last year I white-knuckled it that entire Sunday, peeked through my crossed fingers while watching him putt, emitted several loud grunts and screams throughout the day, prayed as hard as I ever have for a sporting event (my own included), and cried like a baby after Tiger sank the winning putt.
My thanks to my daughter and family for this very special 2019 Christmas gift. It was the perfect way to "wet my whistle" for the 2020 Masters. Who knew I was going to have to wait until November to read it?
NOTE: I just finished watching the 2020 Masters and Dustin Johnson won - well done and congratulations! However, compared to last year's battle, today was about as exciting as watching paint dry. (Except for Tiger taking a 10 on Hole #12 - OUCH! - and then making birdie on 5 of the last 6 holes. Even when he loses, Tiger somehow always manages to bring the excitement!)

#13 for your girl. Something a little different for a change. I really enjoyed this one... Curt Sampson, the author, is tongue and cheek throughout and doesn’t go easy on Tiger with his failures (personality, treatment of others, unethical behavior in a sport that deems itself to be at the top of the ethics chain, etc.) but also... obviously reveres him enough to write a book about him. 🤷🏽♀️ He takes us through it all, all the way through to the 2019 Masters— and the last part of the book is an inspirational, exciting play by play of Tiger’s epic return to the top. Cryptically ending with rumination over what’s next for Tiger.. well, we know the answer to that. Recovering in a hospital room. Here’s to the Comeback Kid roaring back one more time. #iread #chasingcarabooks2021

This is an interesting read. I have to say that it is not what I expected. There was a lot included in the book that I feel was not necessary. However, I did find the peek into the unknown world of golf and Tiger’s life to be well worth the read. You often wonder, or at least I do, what goes through the mind of those who have ‘achieved greatness’ and become public figures. Everything they say and do is fodder for the public and open to criticism. Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book.
May 11, 2021
I really liked this book. I got lost in it a couple of times because of the intense detail, but overall it is a great account of Tiger Woods and his amazing comeback. All in all, I would recommend this book to anyone who likes golf.
April 6, 2023
Poor book. Basically an aggregator of others work. The author admits he struggled to get more than 10 minutes access in the years he covered him, and that chip on the shoulder shows in the writing. No genuine insight and very much a story retold with a lot left out. You can skip this one.
July 7, 2023
Very difficult to follow this book as an Audiobook. Jumps around a lot.
Also didn’t seem like the author ever actually talked with Tiger or had any new insights…just quoted stories from other books, interviews, and articles.

Disappointing. A bunch of nonsense that doesn’t need to be in the book including four pages on Fatty Arbuckle for some reason.

Good read- some interesting insight into what makes Tiger tick.
December 3, 2022
The author's style offers lots of tangents. In this case, this isn't just about Tiger's 2019 victory at Augusta. You probably will need some background in golf to relate to this style.

January 9, 2023I really enjoyed this book. Very interesting and I would recommend it to a golf fan. It really tells a good story about the stories of Tiger Woods and adds details that keep you wanting to read.
September 29, 2023
A book relieving one of the most memorable golf moments of all time. But the author can’t hold back his personal frustration with lack of access and mere annoyance with Tiger Woods as a whole.

Loved this and so much more to come!

Roaring Back
Curt Sampson written about Tiger Woods at various junctures Tiger’s career.
This is an even handed look at the resurgent Tiger. The first part of the book takes us through Tiger’s issues requiring a comeback and the effort Tiger put into the effort.
The remainder of the book is spent mostly chronicling the 2019 Masters day by day with all the ups and downs amongst the leaders.
A great read for golf enthusiasts and interesting for students of human nature.
Thanks to Netgalley for the eARC as well to the publisher.
