[edit] CHOSEN ONE
Tiger Woods has taken his sport to a new level of popularity and drama; but is he too good for the good of his game? Will his talent, and his ongoing development of it, damage the sport he loves and honours?
Great athletes exist in a realm of fantasy. Great young athletes hold out the hope of perfection. And the few truly transcendent athletes soar above their peers, above their games, above the rules of the past. Tiger Woods has taken his sport to a new level of popularity and drama. But is he too good for the good of his game? Will his talent, and his ongoing development of it, damage the sport he loves and honours? In The Chosen One, essayist David Owen expands upon his much-discussed piece for The New Yorker to put Wood's otherworldly accomplishments in a historical perspective and show us how, at the age of twenty five, the only shadow Tiger is chasing is his own. Woods is revealed as a breakthrough athelete in every sense: His reputation as a golfer is already legendary. His African American, Asian, Native American, and Caucasian roots make him one of professional sports' first truly multicultural icons. The extent of his fame and wealth is unparalleled in the world of sports, and marketing. In a volume that will stand alongside past classics of sports meditation, David Owen ponders the social, political and economic implications of a man in the process of reshaping the world.
