For more than a decade, golf was dominated by one galvanizing figure: Eldrick "Tiger" Woods. But as his star has fallen, a new, ambitious generation has stepped up to claim the crown. Once the domain of veterans, golf saw a youth revolution in 2014. In Slaying the Tiger, Shane Ryan introduces us to the volatile, colorful crop of heirs apparent who are storming the barricades of this traditionally old-fashioned sport.
As the golf writer for Bill Simmons' Grantland, Shane Ryan is the perfect herald for the sport's new age. In Slaying the Tiger, he embeds himself for a season on the PGA Tour, where he finds the game far removed from the genteel rhythms of yesteryear. Instead he discovers a group of mercurial talents driven to greatness by their fear of failure and their relentless perfectionism. From Augusta to Scotland, with an irreverent and energetic voice, Ryan documents every transcendent moment, every press tent tirade, and every controversy that made the 2014 tour one of the most exciting and unpredictable in recent memory.

Any additional comments?
I liked this book a lot and all those that gave it a bit of a negative review simply don't want to hear the truth it seems to me.NOT ALL of today's players are like Palmer, Nicklaus and Player that represent this sport like it should be with class and dignity. We have people like Eldrick Woods that are LIARS, and cheat at the game and use people as they take short cuts with drugs and lie to there families and friends as easy as hitting a wedge. All the time our leadership lets him get away with it because he brings new people in and piles of cash reach everyone's pockets except the fans as always.
A few of our players do cheat, and do coke and dope and feel just as arrogant and entitled as the rest of this generation does and show it at every chance EXCEPT when the cameras are on them so they don't chase any sponsors or money away.
If you don't see this or want to hear it, then don't get this book, but if the truth is something you can handle then this is a pretty nice read and opens yours eyes that these are just people today and most (not all) are not concerned really with tradition, ethics or morals at all, but far more in the financial rewards of playing.
What I don't get is the authors audacity of calling others out and yet himself is a pushy, arrogant jerk like he talks about others and has little respect for the actual game. He derides even small towns as NOTHING to do when some of us LIKE towns that are quiet and not loaded with traffic jams and crime everyday. Why are these things wrong because he loves the rubble and poverty of big cities and no one that speaks English or talks to your neighbors?
Dustin Johnson brings shame to this sport just like Woods does and if you don't see it like that then this may not be a good read for you. If you want golf to be filled with the same trash talking, dope smoking criminals of the other major sports, then let the PGA do it's thing to try and keep at least one sport something to be a little proud of or aspire to in a world gone nuts with selfish money grubbing fools at every turn.
I liked the book.....and thank goodness for people like Rory, Crenshaw, Day, Adam Scott and Jordan that makes us all proud.
The narrator is HORRIBLE as he mis-pronounces a huge portion of names of high profile golfers, towns or courses that clearly show he knows nothing about the game.
Nice read...

Shane Ryan does good work: narrator can’t say “Rory” to save his life
