John Feinstein
Celebrity Golfer and Author
John Feinstein was a Washington Post writer when he came into national spotlight in 1986 with the publication of A Season on the Brink, now the best selling sports book of all time.
In recent years, Feinstein has focused largely on golf, notably in his best-selling chronicle of the 1994 PGA season, A Good Walk Spoiled; last year's short volume The First Coming: Tiger Woods: Master or Martyr; and his column for Golf Magazine. His latest book, The Majors: In Pursuit of Golf's Holy Grail, takes on golf's grand slam: the Masters, the U.S. Open, the British Open, and the PGA Championship.
