I remember the rise of Tiger Woods and what a roar it was! This was a great history and perspective into the relationship between caddy and golfer - we rarely get a glimpse into the importance of a caddy unless we've been in the golfer's shoes. Thank you for this insight and bringing us back to the amazing journey!

I love memoirs, I love learning about public figures and things that happen from their point of view. At first this one was a little hard for me to follow because I do enjoy golf but I’m not a mega fan and all the technical terms were a lot at the beginning but I grew to enjoy all the info that Williams collected in the years of being a professional caddie. I learned a lot about Caddies, how they were treated, how important they are to their golfers and the relationship between Williams and Woods and the other golf/caddies out there was super interesting. I think the book did a great job at being honest but also sharing how Tiger Woods is as a person as well as his caddie. I think the media likes to portray people in a certain way, and even with the mistakes Woods made in his personal life, it was fascinating reading about it from someone on the inside. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

As someone who loves golf, I abhor watching golf. Of course I knew of Tiger's dominence, I just didn't know the nitty gritty of his career so I was able to read this and be completely on the edge of my seat since I was unaware of the outcome. Someone who actually watch Tiger's amazing career unfold would find this book even more entertaining because Stevie Williams was able to provide some fun additions to some of the most dramatic golf.
It was a fun perspective to read from a caddies point of view and learn about all the work and effort they put into their players game. They have to be so atuned to everything, including how much adreline they have pumping through their body and how that relates to which wedge they put in their hands. The trust between Woods and Williams was fun to read about, it made me want to play every round with my own personal caddie. I can see how having that extra boost of confidence from someone you trust makes a difference.
Some of this book did feel a bit anectodal and maybe glorification of the past type, but it was a fun read for sure. Clearly he did not touch the more "delicate" parts of Wood's life, which I don't blame him, but don't think you are going to get any juicy details.
I am glad I read it and it provided a unique perspective of being a caddy for golfs greatest, Tiger Woods.
Personally I would have loved more "day in the life of" caddy information. It would have been cool to see how they practice, what they are looking for, what goes in the bag (he does some of this including forgetting to pack extra balls!!).
If you are a Williams or a Woods fan or a golf fan in general I think you would enjoy this book. But don't go in it with high expectations.
Thank you Net Galley for allowing me to read this advanced copy of "Together We Roared" . I was not paid or influenced in exchange for this honest review

Together We Roared is an absolute must-read for golf fans and anyone who loves a behind-the-scenes look at greatness. Steve Williams, with journalist Evin Priest, delivers a compelling, heartfelt, and surprisingly personal account of what it was like to stand beside Tiger Woods during one of the most dominant stretches in sports history. From iconic shots to private moments, this memoir captures not just the victories, but the friendship, loyalty, and intensity that fueled them. With rare photos and intimate stories, it’s a powerful tribute to one of golf’s most legendary partnerships.

A beautiful book about golf, friendship and life! Well done and so entertaining. Less about golf and more about the friendship and life behind it. Loved the narrator.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC.
