Coming into 2016, the Americans had lost an astounding six out of the last seven Ryder Cup matches, and tensions were running high for the showdown that took place in October 2016 in Hazeltine, Minnesota, just days after American legend Arnold Palmer had died.

In 2009, Tiger Woods was the most famous athlete on the planet, a transcendent star of almost unfathomable fame and fortune living what appeared to be the perfect life - married to a Swedish beauty and the father of two young children. Winner of 14 major golf championships and 79 PGA Tour events, Woods was the first billion-dollar athlete, earning more than $100 million a year in endorsements from the likes of Nike, Gillette, AT&T, and Gatorade. But it was all a carefully crafted illusion. As it turned out, Woods had been living a double life for years.

Publisher's Summary

During his more than 40-year career as champion amateur, dominating professional, and senior star, the Golden Bear has won almost 100 tournaments around the world. Topping that astounding achievement are his record 20 major-championship victories: two U.S. Amateurs, six Masters, four U.S. Opens, three British Opens, and five U.S. PGA Championships.

This is Jack Nicklaus’ complete and compelling in-depth account of his legendary major triumphs, along with many other competition highlights—and some lowlights, too—of one of the greatest sports careers of all time.

Critic Reviews

“The most important golf autobiography since that of Nicklaus’ boyhood hero, Bobby Jones. A chronicle of rare insight and depth. It manages to increase the reputation of its subject. And like him, it will last.” ( Washington Times)
“Nicklaus is very calming in that unpretentious Midwestern way, and Ian Esmo's reading is controlled and blissfully unintrusive. It's like listening to the Golden Bear himself as he recounts the 20 major championships he won between 1959 and 1986.” ( AudioFile)

How he played

This book is an excellent recount of Jack's golf life. He treats his emotional ups and downs, with shot evaluations, satisfaction with his technique, and the many times others helped him. It gives a good feeling for how Jack lived and prospered I found it helpful to know that he faced many of the doubts that I have.

Terrible narration

Story is great but narration sounds like an old SciFi speech synthesizer. So bad it is very hard to listen to the book. I'd return it if I could...

Good story, bad narrator

at first I thought the book was being read by Siri's father. way to robotic, very little inflection.

however, the story was well written.

Come Back Kid

Where does Jack Nicklaus rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It was pretty detailed, jumped around alittle bit.

What other book might you compare Jack Nicklaus to and why?

Greg Norman's

What does Ian Esmo bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I think just by changing his voice for a different person.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No but the 86' Masters was the best.

Any additional comments?

Long but a great career does not take 10 minutes to cover.
