Written off as a pompous showman past the prime of his career, Payne Stewart emerged from a long slump in the unforgettable season of 1999 to capture the U.S. Open and play on the victorious U.S. Ryder Cup team. He appeared to be a new man that summer: wiser, deeper and on the verge of a new level of greatness. Then his journey to redemption ended in October, when his chartered Learjet flew aimlessly for more than a thousand miles, ran out of fuel, and fell to earth in a prairie in South Dakota. With exclusive access to Stewart's friends, family and onetime colleagues, Kevin Robbins provides a long-overdue portrait of one of golf's greats in one of golf's greatest seasons.

Millions of people were charmed by the homespun golf advice dispensed in HARVEY PENICK'S LITTLE RED BOOK, a sports classic that went on to become the bestselling sports book of all time. Yet, beyond the Texas golf courses where Penick happily toiled for the better part of eight decades, few people knew the self-made golf pro who coaxed the best out of countless greats --- Tom Kite, Ben Crenshaw, Betsy Rawls, Mickey Wright --- all champions who considered Penick their coach and lifelong friend. In HARVEY PENICK, Kevin Robbins tells the story of this legendary steward of the game.
