Tiger Woods (book) 70,000 words in length. More than 250 people were interviewed for the book. Keteyian interviewed Mark O'Meara for the book while O'Meara was playing a round at the 2017 Conquistadores Classic. O'Meara's ex-wife, Alicia O'Meara, was also interviewed several times for the book. The authors declined an on-the-record interview Woods himself for the book as they were not willing to meet Woods' conditions for such an interview, and the authors were not able to conduct any off-the-record conversations with Woods himself. Keteyian said the reason for writing the book was to attempt to answer the question, "Who is Tiger Woods?"
