Armed with a reporter's perspective and a passionate golfer's love of the game, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist D'Antonio offers a behind-the-scenes portrait of this extraordinary time, detailing the most exciting moments when four of the world's greatest players of all-time, Nicklaus, Palmer, Player and Trevino, competed together at the height of their powers.
