  | One of the most extraordinary figures of the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries is not a scientist, artist, politician or even a world leader, but a golfer. PGA tour professional Tiger Woods rose to the top of the golf world, when the 21-year-old, captured the Masters and the hearts of millions of Americans. He not only set off a mania for golf, but also a fascination about him that writers, professors and pundits will be analyzing for years to come. He’s made more than $70 million on the golf course alone, and his outside income is estimated at $85 million a year. For someone with such a high profile on the golf course, Tiger keeps his personal life under wraps. Not allowing many outsiders in his world. When asked what the name of his yacht is, Tiger says "Privacy," and he says the name was his idea. |
| Despite being seen on a weekly basis on television broadcasts, interviews and in magazine articles, Woods remains somewhat of a mystery. In his new book, “Tiger Woods in Black & White”, famed photographer Jules Alexander, tries to shed light on Woods’ inner being through black and white photographs. Alexander first began his career photographing the likes of Duke Ellington and Frank Sinatra in the 1940’s. But his most well known photographs are those of his favorite subject golf legend Ben Hogan. Like Hogan, Woods has a mystique about him that Alexander has captured in beautifully shot black and white photographs artfully displayed in a coffee table book.The photographs include commentary by Johnny Miller, essays by Jim Nantz and comments by many other well-known columnists and authors. My favorite photographs are the action shots of Woods striking the ball at impact. You can see the power and perfect technique he uses to a strike a ball. In those photographs, you can see the force and strain that his left knee has absorbed over the years of hitting thousands and thousands of golf balls. Every aspect of Woods’ games has been chronicled in more than 100, never before published, photographs laced with commentary by Johnny Miller and others. This hard cover golf book is 128 pages in length and makes a perfect Father’s Day gift. But anyone that appreciates the beauty of the game will enjoy browsing these classic photographs. | |
