Woods take his coach unprofessional

Now it's really a book which is planning to be released by his former coach, Hank Haney, who taught Woods for six years in which the former No. 1 golfer on earth won six major championships and 31 PGA Tour titles whilst turning up a slew of top-10 finishes.

Woods caused it to be clear in January right after the book's publication date was announced he was lower than thrilled using the idea. He described it "disappointing'' and felt Haney was "unprofessional.'' He also said he wouldn't see the book, nor would he discuss it.

But his agent, Mark Steinberg, didn't just crack open the threshold to help expand questions. He blew it open having a statement blasting Mizuno MP-58 irons Haney, especially for his experience of Woods' fondness for that Navy SEALs.

Haney wrote in the book, that has been excerpted by GolfDigest, that he was interested in the training Woods was doing and just how it would affect his surgically repaired knee with his fantastic overall round of golf. And he suggested that Woods seriously considered giving up his top spot amongst gamers for life inside the military.

Given Woods' previously mentioned stance concerning the book, questions regarding it during Wednesday's news conference with the Honda Classic were unlikely -- until Steinberg's statement that at least suggested Haney was off base.

Everybody has got the proven fact that Woods feels a trust was breached, that a coach he confided in over several years might reveal proprietary secrets or perhaps discount golf clubs off-the-cuff conversations.

Though the reaction from his agent this week suggested that possibly the record should be set straight. Asked where his disappointment level is now that some excerpts happen to be released, Woods wouldn't bite

A later follow-up question about the same subject: "Well, I've already brought up it, so sorry.''

Then things got a lttle bit testy when a question asked specifically about the Navy SEALs comments. "I've already commented on Mizuno MP-68 Irons everything,'' Woods said. Pressed, Woods said: "I've already commented about the book.''

The exchange ended testily as Woods told the questioner, "You're a beauty'' and added, "Have a pleasant day.''
