Twenty years after Tiger Woods won his first Masters, fans will once again be able to relive Woods’ historic victory.
On Monday, Grand Central Publishing announced it had acquired the rights to a book about Woods and the 1997 Masters, The book is currently called “UNTITLED TIGER WOODS 1997 MASTERS BOOK.” According to a release from Grand Central Publishing, the book will come out in March 2017, just in time for fans to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the tournament that made Woods the high-profile golfer he is today.
The book in the works is being written by Tiger Woods and Lorne Rubenstein, a Canadian golf journalist who has written 13 golf books during his career.
The focus of the book will be around the 1997 Masters, giving plenty of perspective from Woods side of things. He will go through what it was like to win the tournament by 12 shots at age 21. This is Woods’ first book since “How I Play Golf,” which came out in 2001.
Woods will explore other parts of his career in the book, according to the release. This includes how the game has changed since the 1997 Masters, his relationship with his late father. Woods will also reportedly “dispel previous misconceptions” in this book.
Getting an in-depth look into Woods at the 1997 Masters will definitely be something to watch for. However, with the release pointing out Woods’ desire to “dispel previous misconceptions,” fans should hope that the book doesn’t turn into an attempt to clean up Woods’ tarnished image.
