The tome is a collection of Sports Illustrated articles written about Tiger Woods, who that year was the Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year.The assembled words predate the mildly amusing tigerwoodsisgod.com internet site by representing Woods (as was popular, profitable and fashionable back then) as the Second Coming.
