Armed with a reporter's perspective and a passionate golfer's love of the game, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Michael D'Antonio offers a behind-the-scenes portrait of the 1972 season in which golf legends Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino, and Gary Player competed on roughly equal terms. Using unprecedented interviews with the PGA Big Four and those who joined them on tour, D'Antonio presents both the excitement on the course and the unseen drama in the lives of golf's heroes. He reveals Trevino's brush with a nervous breakdown and Palmer's gradual acceptance of his waning powers. The sources of Gary Player's drive are shown here, along with Nickalus' transformation into a golf icon. The year 1972 was an incredible one for golf. The game's traditional stateliness gave way to a fiercer and more exciting dynamic as Trevino, Palmer, Nicklaus, and Player dominated the course. Their intense competitiveness and unbelievable prowess paved the way for the likes of Tiger and Sergio, and shaped the game we know today. Golf fans can now treasure this unforgettable season of competition as it is now captured between the pages of Tour '72. Length: 265 pages.
