Advance Praise for Roaring Back
"As I said live on the air, Tiger Woods’ victory at the 2019
Masters marked the completion of one of the great comebacks in any
sport, all-time. In Roaring Back, Curt Sampson admirably details
all the highs and lows that led him to that historic moment. Like
Tiger’s performance in Augusta, it’s a book for the ages.” — Jim
Nantz, CBS Sports
"If it were possible to clone Ring Lardner and Sinclair Lewis—with
a dusting of the late Dan Jenkins for seasoning—you might come
close to creating Curt Sampson. In Roaring Back, Sampson artfully
charts the pain-filled odysseys of the game's greatest Comeback
Kids from Ben Hogan to Tiger Woods, whose wrenchingly public fall
from grace sets up a strikingly human tale of rebirth that
illustrates why we Americans are born suckers a good resurrection
story. This unflinching chronicle puts Tigermania in much-needed,
clear-eyed perspective. It's a helluva fun read, as well." — James
Dodson, bestselling author of Final Rounds and American
Triumvirate
"I have known Tiger Woods since he was sixteen years old and borne
witness, first hand, to his dramatic rise, fall, and redemption.
Many writers have tried and failed to capture Tiger's mercurial
essence over the years, but Curt Sampson does so here
magnificently. Roaring Back is the literary equivalent of a
championship putt." — Peter Jacobsen, Golf Channel/NBC Sports
"More words have been written trying to capture the heart and mind
of the enigmatic Tiger Woods than any other golfer in history,
including members of a legendary foursome: Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan,
Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. Curt Sampson has been aggressively
chasing Tiger for more than twenty years. In Roaring Back, he at
last lays bare, through wry, observant prose, the truth of the man
whose singular greatness inspired an entire generation of golfers
and whose extraordinary comeback inspired the world." — Don Van
Natta, Jr., bestselling author of First Off The
Tee and Wonder Girl
Praise for Curt Sampson
"Jack Nicklaus may own six green jackets, but no one has captured
the Masters like [Curt] Sampson." — The (Baton Rouge) Advocate
“The old sports writing axiom says, ‘The smaller the ball, the
better the writing,’ and Sampson certainly has chops commensurate
with golf's small sphere…. Sampson's connections in the sport are
on par with his authorial flair….Sampson is best at capturing the
details the smell of pine straw on a course or the flush on the
back of a pressured participant's neck as only a golf aficionado
and ace writer can.” — Publishers Weekly
"This crisp account [and] vivid retelling of what happened in
Augusta in April 2019...will have fans reliving the improbable
moments of that inspirational final round....An essential bit of
golf history and a fine warm-up for Woods' forthcoming
memoir."—Booklist
“[Sampson’s] writing about golf is punchy…and very much
in-the-know.”—InfoDad Blog
