Summary of Training a Tiger: A Father's Guide to Raising a Winner in Both Golf and Life

The smash New York Times bestseller (more than 270,000 hardcover copies sold) by the father and mentor of the PGA sensation Tiger Woods, Training a Tiger is an invaluable guide parents can use to teach their children golf and important life lessons as well.

From the moment Tiger Woods turned pro, fans have been on the edge of their seats watching one thrilling performance after another, and millions of kids and adults have been turned on to the sport because of Tiger's charisma and breathtaking abilities. From his shot-making skills and mental toughness to his confidence, integrity, and demeanor, Tiger sets the standard for public figures.

In Training a Tiger, Earl Woods provides insight into the kind of perspective, instruction, and training that goes into raising a champion who plays his or her best on -- and off -- the green. He offers advice on when and how to introduce golf (or any sport) to a child, how to lay the groundwork for open communication, and how to cultivate a positive competitive attitude. An intelligent mix of instruction, anecdotes, and common sense. Training a Tiger helps parents everywhere guide their kids to become good golfers -- and great people.


The first thing you'll learn in this book, which details how Earl Woods raised his son, Tiger, to become probably the greatest golfer who ever lived, is that your child will never be another Tiger Woods. Tiger is a prodigy in the sense that Mozart was a prodigy. But even if your child has completely ordinary abilities, Training a Tiger shows how to pass on your love for a sport to your child. Most of the book is specific to golf, but the same lessons can be applied to any activity.
