TIGER Woods had a terse exchange with a magazine reporter on Wednesday over excerpts from his former swing coach's new book, and ended the conversation with a long stare and a sarcastic, "Have a good day."
And so began a bumpy road to the US Masters for Woods, who has gone more than two years without winning on the PGA Tour, and is approaching the four-year anniversary of his last major championship.
Woods, who last year moved to Palm Beach County in Florida, is playing the Honda Classic for the first time since 1993, when he was a 17-year-old.
Hank Haney's book, "The Big Miss," is scheduled for release on March 27, the week before the Masters. The book is about Haney's six years as Woods' swing coach, and Golf Digest on Tuesday began to release excerpts. In the excerpt, Haney details Woods' fascination with the military, particularly the Navy SEALs.
When asked about the book, Woods said his disappointment with Haney hasn't changed. When asked his reaction to the excerpt, Woods replied, "Well, I've already talked about it."
The press conference at PGA National turned awkward when Alex Miceli, a Golfweek senior writer, asked Woods if he considered being a Navy SEAL at the height of his career.
"I've already talked about everything in the book. I've already commented on everything, Alex," Woods said.
"Then I must have missed you answering that question," Miceli replied.
"Well, I've already commented on the book. Is that in the book? Is it in the book?" Woods said.
Miceli replied he had not seen the book. "You're a beauty, you know that?" Woods said.
