Description: Hogan is the never-revealed story of this thundering contradiction of a man who succeeded on the most public of stages while somehow revealing nothing of himself. Here at last is the Hogan no reader has ever encountered. From the poverty and suicidal death of his father that scarred him as a youth, to the failure and conflict that stalked into middle age, Hogan is the rare sports book that transcends the genre. Combining interviews from Byron Nelson, Jack Nicklaus, Sam Snead, and scores of other golf professionals, as well as insights from Hogan's friends and business associates, Hogan traces the life of an amazing man and tells an unforgettable story.--From jacket flap
