Harper The Golf Book: Twenty Years of Players, Shots & Moments That Changed Golf

A visual chronicle of golf’s last two decades

Harper presents The Golf Book, a New York Times Bestseller drawn from Golf Channel’s archives. It gathers two decades of unforgettable moments, candid player profiles, and insightful storytelling into a comprehensive, full-color digest. Foreword by Arnold Palmer lends a storied resonance as the book invites fans to relive dramatic finishes, strategic turns, and the course design that shaped the era. The pages pair evocative photography with storytelling that captures the rhythm of a season—the hush before a putt, the roar after a birdie, the quiet pride of a course with a storied past.
