The commercial utilized a sound bite from that interview as a backdrop to the camera capture of Tiger's face, and it was widely interpreted as a skewing of Earl's words His Fathers Son: Earl and Tiger Woods posthumously address Tiger's own marital issues, which had recently come to light; the commercial was released on the same day that Tiger had made his anticipated return to competition at the Masters Tournament following a five-month self-imposed absence during the resulting public fallout, and His Fathers Son: Earl and Tiger Woods the first to feature Tiger's participation since the scandal broke.

His Father's Son: Earl and Tiger Woods by Tom Callahan Ever since he was a two-year-old His Fathers Son: Earl and Tiger Woods prodigy, Eldrick 'Tiger' Woods has often been viewed less as a human being and more as a ball-striking machine - and His Fathers Son: Earl and Tiger Woods carefully guarded image and emotionless persona seemed to guarantee that it would remain that way. Even after his recent bombshell adultery scandal, the public still knows very little about the man behind the golf clubs and multimillion-dollar endorsement deals. But one thing is certain: Earl Woods, Tiger's beloved and now deceased father, knew him better and influenced his life more than anyone. To know the father is to know the son. With unparalleled insight into the man who made Tiger Woods the person that he is, His Father's Son is both a detailed biography and a touching story of an intense father-and-son relationship.

A revealing and intimate biography of the man who influenced Tiger Woods the most-his father, Earl Woods Tiger Woods has been with us since he appeared on "The Mike Douglas Show" as a two-year-old, hitting golf balls for Bob Hope. In the three decades since, he established himself as the most dominant golfer of all time and became the wealthiest athlete on the planet. And beside him was his father and best friend, Earl Woods. Callahan recounts Earl's boyhood in Manhattan, Kansas, his days as a star baseball player at Kansas State, and his military career with the special forces. He details Earl's final tour in Vietnam, where he became close friends with a South Vietnamese operative named Tiger Phong. Earl picked up golf after his retirement from the military, and when he became a father for the last time, his son-another Tiger-would watch him hit balls from his high chair. As soon as Tiger could stand, he was swinging a golf club. Under Earl's tutelage, he went on His Fathers Son: Earl and Tiger Woods the most storied amateur career in golf history. His Fathers Son: Earl and Tiger Woods was a millionaire the day he announced he was going pro. Callahan follows Tiger through every one of his major championship wins, discussing his complex and ever-changing relationship with his father. He places Tiger into the context of golf history, detailing his chase of Nicklaus's records and his interactions with fellow pros. He reveals that Tiger stepped away from golf after his father's death, His Fathers Son: Earl and Tiger Woods examines Tiger's recent troubles in light of his father's own womanizing. Written in lyric prose and based on interviews with Earl, Tiger, and dozens of insiders, Callahan reveals in His Father's Son the man who made Tiger who he is. He lives in Florida.

  • Family Matters
    Jeff Benedict’s and Armen Keteyian’s number 1 New York Times bestseller is based on years of reporting and interviews with more than 250 people. The following extract from the biography introduces Tiger Woods’ parents Kultida and Earl and his grandfather Miles. Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian Family Matters On September 14, 1981, five-year-old Tiger Woods entered a kinder-garten classroom at Cerritos Elementary School that had been carefully decorated to help put children at ease. It was the first day of school. Pictures of animals and nature were tacked to a couple of bulletin boards. Hand-colored drawings – one of fluffy white clouds against a blue sky, and another of a bright yellow sun with 5 beams radiating from it – were taped to a side wall. Numbers and the letters of the alphabet ran along the top of the chalkboard. But none of it diminished the fact that Tiger felt different from all the other kids. Vastly different. Instead of toys, his prized possession was a custom-made set of golf clubs. Besides his parents, his closest friend was his golf instructor, a thirty-two-year-old man with a mustache named Rudy. Tiger had already appeared on national television a couple of times, 10 performed in front of millions of people, and rubbed shoulders with Bob Hope1, Jimmy Stewart2, and Fran Tarkenton3. His golf swing was so smooth that Tiger looked like a pro in a miniature body. He had even signed autographs, printing “TIGER” in block letters to compensate for the fact that he had yet to learn cursive.

  • Charles Barkley Upset with Tiger Woods
    AZ Insider: Charles Barkley upset with Tiger Woods Written by Kathy Shayna Shocket "The AZ Insider" with Kathy Shayna Shocket: Get the inside scoop on Arizona's social scene and celebrity news. Although Tiger Woods has resurfaced publically since his extra marital affair scandal and whopping $110 million divorce settlement from his wife Elin– -- he hasn’t been palling around with his best basketball legend buddies Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley. And now Sir Charles, who has a home in Scottsdale, is revealing that he hasn’t spoken with the golf star in two years, since the infamous car accident in Florida and the subsequent stories of infidelity, multiple mistresses, and sexy cell phone messages, etc. When Tiger changed his cell phone number after the Florida car crash, Charles was one of Tiger’s famous friends that weren’t given the new number. And Charles is upset and saddened that the friend he talked with at least once a week for 15 years has cut off contact. It seems the last straw for Charles was Tiger’s firing of caddie Steve Williams. Now, on the heels of Tiger getting ready to hit the greens of the Bridgestone Invitational, Charles talked to ESPN New York sports radio host Mike Lupica about his frustration. While he wishes Tiger "the best" with the Bridgestone Invitational, and said he will always love Woods like a brother, Barkley is saddened by the silence between the buddies. He uses the words “confused” and “disappointed”. "You think you're friends with a guy. You talk to him once a week for 15 years.
