As for the rest of the golfing world -- including other players, junior golfers and their parents, corporate America, agents, instructors, fans, and the media -- it's either catch up or give up. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs in his controversial bestsellers \u003ci\u003eHogan\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Masters\u003c\/i\u003e, Sampson digs deep to tell stories that wouldn't otherwise be told. From the Austin golf course worker whose admiration for Woods leads him to spend every waking minute mimicking him, to the unemployed talk show host whose website stretches the bounds of hero worship, to the other end of the scale, where up-and-coming pro Charles Howell III -- tapped by Nicklaus to be the next great challenge to Woods -- continues to close the gap. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy turns moving, hilarious, and eye-opening, Chasing Tiger is an affectionate yet wary account of one extraordinary man's impact on the world of sports, and the game of golf as it moves into a new era.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCurt Sampson is a former golf touring professional and a regular contributor to Golf magazine and golf.com.
