Elvis and Tiger - Paperback

by Myles Goodwyn (Author)

In April 1997, a man who has been living under the pseudonym of Aaron Smith since August 16, 1977, a date etched into the American consciousness, watches the televised coverage of a young golfer named Tiger Woods winning the Masters Tournament at the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. He is so impressed that a "man of colour" could win at such an infamously segregated private club in the deep south, he is inspired. He wants to meet Tiger for conversation and eighteen holes of golf. It matters deeply to Aaron for reasons only he understands. Despite the considerable risk involved, Aaron makes a few discreet calls to America and offers Woods a great deal of money for a forty-eight-hour visit to Antigua. Tiger accepts the invitation. The game is on But before the game can begin, an untold story unfolds.
