Wicked Game

"The Wicked Game is a compelling story of talent, fame, wealth, and power. In this penetrating, forty-year history of men’s professional golf, acclaimed author Howard Sounes tells the story of the modern game through the lives of its greatest icons. With unprecedented access to players and their closest associates, Sounes reveals the personal lives, rivalries, wealth, and business dealings of these remarkable men, as well as murky history of a game that has been marred by racism and sex discrimination. Entertaining for dedicated golfers, and accessible to those who only follow the game on television, this may be the most original and exciting sports book of the year."
