How I Play Golf

Tiger Woods shares his approach to golf and offers instruction for improving your own game. He reveals how he learned the sport in reverse order—starting from the green and working back to the tee. The book methodically examines every aspect of golf, from putting to driving, club selection to maintaining focus after mistakes. Using hundreds of photographs and frame-by-frame analysis, Woods explains his fundamentals including grip, stance, ball position, balance, rhythm, and routine. He covers specific techniques such as his six keys to a great backswing, common putting errors, mental preparation for key shots, practice methods, controlling spin and trajectory with irons, the knockdown shot, course management strategy, and exercises for strength and flexibility. Throughout, Woods reflects on golf as a test of character and shares recollections of learning the game from his father and competing against top players on courses including Augusta and St. Andrews. The book combines instructional content with personal insights into both his game and his personality on and off the course.
