Download Slaying the Tiger: A Year Inside the Ropes on the New PGA Tour AudioBook Free
For more than a decade, golfing was dominated by one galvanizing figure: Eldrick "Tiger" Woods. But as his celebrity has fallen, a new, ambitious era has stepped up to declare the crown. Once the domains of veterans, golfing saw a junior revolution in 2014. In Slaying the Tiger, Shane Ryan introduces us to the volatile, colorful crop of heirs apparent who are storming the barricades of the customarily old-fashioned sport. As the golfing writer for Costs Simmons' Grantland, Shane Ryan is the perfect herald for the sport's modern. In Slaying the Tiger, he embeds himself for a season on the PGA Travel, where he sees the game much removed from the genteel rhythms of yesteryear. Instead he discovers several mercurial talents influenced to greatness by their concern with failing and their relentless perfectionism. From Augusta to Scotland, with an irreverent and full of energy voice, Ryan documents every transcendent point in time, every press tent tirade, and every controversy that made the 2014 travel one of the most exciting and unstable in recent storage.
