Haney detailed Woods' extreme workouts

It excerpt was published on GolfDigest's iPad app.

In the excerpt, Haney detailed Woods' extreme workouts and exactly how they intersected regarding his adoration for the military.

"Tiger did two tandem parachute jumps, engaged in hand-to-hand combat exercises, proceeded four-mile runs wearing combat boots, and did drills in a very wind tunnel," Haney wrote four days Woods spent in special-ops training at Fort Bragg, N.C. "Tiger loved it, but his physical therapist, Keith Kleven, went a little crazy worrying regarding the further damage Ping K15 Driver Tiger could be doing to his left knee.

"One morning I had been with the cooking as he went back coming from a long run around [his Orlando-area home at] Isleworth, and that i noticed he was wearing Army boots. Tiger admitted that he'd worn the heavy shoes before on a single route. 'I beat my best time,' he explained."

Woods grew up in the military family. His father, Earl Woods, would have been a Green Beret. Based on Haney, Woods was seriously considering learning to be a Navy SEAL, among the military's most physically and mentally demanding units.

"I couldn't know how he'd handle it, however when he discussed it, it turned out clear he'd a strategy," wrote Haney. "I thought, wow, this is Tiger Woods, greatest athlete on the planet, maybe the maximum athlete ever, in the middle of his prime, basically willing to leave it all behind for a military life."

"Based on the excerpts published today, Hank Haney's declare that his book is all about golf is clearly false," Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, said in a Ping G15 Hybrids statement. "His armchair psychology about Tiger, on matters he admits they did not even discuss, is ridiculous.

"Because of his father, it's not secret that Tiger has always had high respect for that military, so for Haney to twist that admiration into something negative is disrespectful. The disruptive timing with this book implies that Haney's self-promotion is a bit more crucial that you him than discount golf clubs another person or tournament. What's been written violates the trust from your coach and player and someone also once considered an associate."

Woods earned 57 top-10 finishes in 78 tournaments with 29 victories, including six major championship wins, after shortly fater he began working with Haney in 2005. Throughout their partnership, Woods finished worse than 30th only nine times, including missed cuts.
