Notă biografică
A former Sports Illustrated senior editor and editor in chief of Golf Magazine, Kevin Cook has written about golf for Sports Illustrated, The Wall Street Journal, and many other publications, and talked about the game on ESPN, CNN, and Fox News. His first book, Tommy’s Honor, won the US Golf Association’s Herbert Warren Wind Award.
Recenzii
“Does the world really need another book about Tiger Woods? In fact, it does. The pleasure of Kevin Cook’s The Tiger Slam: The Inside Story of the Greatest Golf Ever Played is to return to a time—before the scandals, before the leg and back injuries—when Woods was a phenom who possessed seemingly unlimited potential but who had not yet lived up to his promise.”
—John Paul Newport, The Wall Street Journal
“A captivating tale of what many thought impossible: winning the game’s four majors in a row. . . . Jack Nicklaus called it the ‘most amazing feat in the history of golf.’ Chock-full of fascinating golf trivia, pithy profiles of players, and fairway dramas.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“It is more than likely we will never see a major championship stretch like this again in our lifetime. But two things are for sure: I am thrilled that when Tiger won the Masters in 2001, I proclaimed the Tiger Slam to be ‘as grand as it gets,’ and secondly, I’m thrilled that Kevin Cook is the one recounting Tiger’s jaw-dropping Grand Slam conquests. This book is truly as grand as it gets!”
—Jim Nantz, CBS Sports
“There are countless Tiger books but Kevin Cook's is the rare must-read, elevated by his reporting chops and lively prose. As Woods continues to fade away, it is a pleasure to relive those long-ago days when he owned the game and the attention of every sports fan.”
—Alan Shipnuck, New York Times bestselling author of LIV and Let Die and Phil
“Even from the leading edge of the commentary team, on the ground with Tiger, it was difficult to put in words how brilliant he was during this period. Kevin Cook has captured those ten months and provided as accurate a description of the best golf ever played as I have seen. A must-read for Tiger fans and haters alike!”
—David Feherty
“The greatest single-year achievement in golf—since Hogan in ’53 or Jones in ’30—gets the definitive narrative it deserves in Kevin Cook’s masterful recreation of Tiger’s remarkable peak performance.”
—Mark Frost, New York Times bestselling author of The Greatest Game Ever Played and The Match
“Cook’s The Tiger Slam has the combination of insight, research, anecdotes, and quality prose that distinguishes great books from the merely good.”

Praise for Tommy’s Honor:
Winner of the Herbert Warren Wind Award from the US Golf Association
“Golf history at its absolute best.” —Bill Ott, Booklist (starred review)
“A stirring tale of tragedy, triumph, faith and perseverance. Kevin Cook reveals Old Tom Morris as golf’s first hero, a paragon who worked to make St. Andrews the symbol of the game’s enduring greatness. Every golfer should read Tommy’s Honor.” —Ben Crenshaw, two-time Masters champion
