Synopsis ""At All Costs": My Life With the Man Behind the Tiger (in English)"
This is the story of two young people who fell in love, married, and in the course of their military travels, conceived three children, two sons, Earl Jr., and Kevin, and a daughter, Royce Renay. This is also the story of the failure of that marriage after eighteen years, and how the parties involved, Barbara Ann and Earl Dennison Woods continued on with their separate lives. Earl soon remarried and father another child (Eldrick) who would later come to be known as "Tiger" Woods. Meanwhile, Barbara, in the role of single parent, continued with the raising of her three children. If one family gradually came to feel that it was living in the shadow of the other, this is simply the nature of things. Lacking the celebrated talents that Tiger later became noted for, Earl's first family soon found it difficult, even impossible to compete for their father's quality time and attention. Although their mother did what she could to keep them from feeling sacrificed or forgotten, there are still mental and psychological scars resulting from their unfulfilled needs when they were young, vulnerable and also, highly impressionable. Certainly, there is no resentment over Tiger's success, but great sadness remains over the manner in which one family was compromised for another.
