James Patterson released a new biography of Tiger Woods on Monday. 

The book titled Tiger, Tiger: His Life, As It’s Never Been Told Before is available for fans online and in stores. 

According to the American author, the book contains exclusive insights into varying topics from the legendary golfer’s life.

Patterson, who dubbed Woods as ‘an iconic figure in our age, stated that he talked to dozens of people to get real accounts of the 15-time major winner’s life. 

An avid golfer himself, the author revealed that his book talks about parts of Woods’ private life, including his relationship with his now-teenage daughter, Sam.

The author noted that the 17-year-old has openly revealed why she can’t take Tiger seriously despite having him in the ‘Dad Hall of Fame.’

“When he was inducted into the (World Golf) Hall of Fame, he asked her to speak. And she said, ‘I inducted you in the Dad Hall of Fame a long time ago,’ which I think speaks to how she felt about him. She would say things like, ‘I can’t really take you seriously as a person. How can I take somebody seriously who goes to Comic-Con dressed as Batman?,’ which is kind of cool.”

The author went on to laud Woods’ greatness and put him on the mantle above the likes of Patrick Mahomes and LeBron James.

Talking about Woods, the writer added:

“He’s important. He’s an iconic figure in our age, probably, of all the golfers. I mean, Patrick Mahomes is a terrific football player out of Kansas City, and LeBron James is a terrific basketball player. But somehow, Tiger rises above all of them, not just as a golfer. There’s something about him. Certainly, he spread the game of golf to so many people beyond what it was, the kind of country club set.”

It is pertinent to note that Patterson told the Daily News that he did not directly speak with Tiger Woods for the biography. The book is completely based on accounts of dozens of people who knew him or worked with the player.
