Raising the Bar: Tiger Woods Championship Years | Thomas Dunne Books

Inside Raising the Bar

From Thomas Dunne Books, Raising the Bar offers a finely crafted account of Tiger Woods' ascent to dominance during his championship years. Written by Tim Rosaforte, a veteran golf journalist, the book blends long-form reporting with insider perspectives to illuminate not just the wins, but the rhythms and decisions behind them.

The narrative invites you onto the range, into the locker room, and into the theater of major championships. Expect sensory touches: the hush before a swing, the momentary calm in the crowd, the crack of a perfect drive, the roar that follows a clutch putt, and the tangible tension in the lead-up to a final round. These textures help you feel the pace of a season and the pressure of a race for records.
