"The four tournaments known as the majors - the Masters, the U.S. Open, the British Open, and the PGA Championship - are the absolute pinnacle of golf, competitions played at a level of pressure guaranteed to give even the greatest golfers the shakes. The 1998 majors were no exception, and they produced indelible moments: Mark O'Meara capturing two titles and making a strong run at a third, Lee Janzen having his lost ball drop out of a tree at the U.S. Open, Brian Watts making an amazing bunker shot on the final hole of the British Open, Vijay Singh banking his shot off a tree on Sunday at Sahalee. But for each of those cinematic moments, there are hundreds more that are equally powerful but virtually unknown. In The Majors, bestselling sportswriter John Feinstein accompanies a dozen top glofers as they play these tournaments, revealing what it is that makes them so demanding - and what it takes to win such exalted prizes. He takes us onto the courses and into the back rooms to show us how decisions are made on what players will be paired together and where the holes will be placed on different days - including the disastrous hole placement that caused such outrage at the U.S. Open. Most of all, The Majors shows us the greatest golfers of our time under the greatest pressure they ever experience - how Payne Stewart manages to sleep when he has the lead at the U.S. Open, how Mark O'Meara paces himself for a masterful Sunday, how John Daly deals with frustrations and maintains his sobriety. Just as he explored the daily demands of a year on tour in his bestseller A Good Walk Spoiled, John Feinstein here reveals how champions get their putters back when the championship is on the line. Written with the absolute authority of a master of his subject, The Majors will fascinate and amaze anyone who thinks they know the game of golf." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

We all talk about how we shouldn't judge our careers on making the Final Four or on winning it, but every single one of us wants to be there." - Coach Gary Williams, University of Maryland. "When college basketball teams make it to the NCAA tournament, they say they're "going to the dance." John Feinstein's riveting new book is the story of the last dance - the Final Four. There is no event in sports quite like it. The Final Four draws millions to their televisions and thousands to a chosen city, its attendance topped only by the Super Bowl. It is the epicenter of sports madness, a circus of media, coaches, and fans swirling around the four teams talented enough to have made it to the end. Tracking the teams in 2005's Final Four - Michigan State's Spartans, the University of Louisville's Cardinals, the University of Illinois's Fighting Illini, and the University of North Carolina's Tar Heels - John Feinstein tells the story of an unforgettable and dramatic tournament. Here are the reports by UCLA's John Wooden, UNC's Dean Smith, and Duke's Mike Krzyzewski about Final Four dynasties that defined the sport. Here are great players like Bill Bradley, Michael Jordan, Christian Laettner, and Sean May, who thought they'd never make it to college basketball's final weekend. Here are the late nights at the coaches' hotel, where careers are advanced (or not). Here are the players in the 2005 Final Four trying to practice, eat, rest, and play, knowing that they will be remembered by these games for the rest of their lives. Feinstein also conveys the inspiring stories of the people behind the scenes who make the madness possible: the officals and referees who walk a tightrope in an effort to keep the tournament fair, the scouts and ticket scalpers along the edges, and the photographers and reporters whose passion for the tournament goes far beyond that of any average fan. With the unflinching eye of a knowledgeable reporter - 2005 was Feinstein's twenty-sixth Final Four - and the unsurpassed skill of a great storyteller, Feinstein exposes the unforgettable drama of one of the most revered events in American sports." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
