In 2003, after winning six of the twelve majors from 2000 to
2002, Tiger Woods struggled with his swing, leaving him
lagging behind the field at both the U.S. Open and the PGA
Championship. With Woods out of the picture, the stage was
set for a newcomer to claim the top position. Nobody
expected that four virtually unknown players would rise to
become first-time champions.
In his debut appearance
in a major, Ben Curtis became the only player since Francis
Ouimet in 1913 to prevail on his first time out. Mike
Weir--who was considered a good player but not a great
one--triumphed in The Masters, becoming the first Canadian
to win a major. In the U.S. Open, Jim Furyk was victorious,
and the PGA Championship was claimed by the unknown Shawn
Micheel.
But after each player's history-making
season, the four have had little further success. 2008 is
the first year since that unexpected year, when it will be
possible for the four golfers to qualify for the
tour.In MOMENT OF GLORY, John Feinstein returns to
the unlikely year of 2003 and chronicle the personal and
professional struggles of these four players. With great
affection for the underdog and extraordinary access to the
players, he then looks to the 2008 season, giving readers an
insider's look into to how winning (and losing) major
championships changes players' lives.
