Tiger Woods is one of the most successful golfers in history. He has won 15 major championships, and he has been ranked number one in the world for a record 683 weeks. But behind the success, there is a complex story of family, relationships, and tragedy.

In his new book, "His Father, Son, Earl, and Tiger Woods," journalist Jeff Benedict tells the unauthorized true story of Tiger's life. The book delves into Tiger's relationship with his father, Earl, who was a Green Beret and a strict disciplinarian. Earl pushed Tiger to succeed in golf from a young age, and he often used harsh methods to motivate him.

Tiger's relationship with his mother, Kultida, was much more nurturing. Kultida was a nurse, and she often provided Tiger with the emotional support he needed to deal with his father's demanding expectations.

In 1991, Earl Woods was diagnosed with cancer. He died two years later, at the age of 64. Tiger was devastated by his father's death, and he struggled to cope with the loss. He eventually withdrew from golf for a time, and he began to rebel against his mother's authority.

In 1994, Tiger met Elin Nordegren, a Swedish model. They married in 2004, and they had two children together. But Tiger's marriage was plagued by infidelity, and the couple divorced in 2010.

In 2009, Tiger was involved in a car accident that left him with serious injuries. He underwent multiple surgeries, and he was forced to take a break from golf for several months. But he eventually made a full recovery, and he returned to golf in 2010.

Tiger Woods is a complex and fascinating figure. He is a brilliant golfer, but he has also struggled with personal demons. In "His Father, Son, Earl, and Tiger Woods," Jeff Benedict tells the unauthorized true story of Tiger's life. The book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the man behind the legend.
