The book is titled "BACK" and will be published
by HarperCollins, but no release date was provided.
Announced in a press release on Tuesday, the book will trace the
15-time major winner's development from a child prodigy through
his stunning victory at the Masters last April.
It also includes commentary about breaking racial barriers, his
battles with injuries and drama in his personal life.
"I've been in the spotlight for a long time, and because of
that, there have been books and articles and TV shows about me,
most filled with errors, speculative and wrong," Woods, 43, said
in a statement. "This book is my definitive story. It's in my
words and expresses my thoughts. It describes how I feel and
what's happened in my life.
"I've been working at it steadily, and I'm looking forward to
continuing the process and creating a book that people will want
to read."
HarperCollins executive editor Shannon Welch will edit Woods'
memoir.
"I was delighted to discover how much he has to say, and how
ready, how eager, he is to say it," Welch said. "He's at a place
in his career and his life where he's thinking deeply about his
story, the highs and the lows, and how it all relates and
connects. I think the result will be extraordinary."
