In the first section on golf, topics include putting, scoring, etiquette, the mental side of the game, and fitness and nutrition.

Finally, in the section on business, he details how to deal with competition, among other topics. Player responds to questions such as:

• Golf: How do I play a bunker shot from a plugged lie?
• Life: I feel like I’ve lost the passion for what I do. How do I get that back?
• Business: When people criticize my work I take it very personally. How do you handle criticism?

The 2012 recipient of the PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement Award, Player draws from both on and off the course experiences dealing with competitors, businesspeople, and family.
