Tiger’s fury as old coach to tell tale

TIGER WOODS starts his season in Abu Dhabi next week unhappy his former coach Hank Haney is writing a book about their time together.

“I think it’s unprofessional and very disappointing,” Woods has said, “especially because it’s someone I worked with and trusted as a friend.

“There have been other one-sided books about me and I think people understand that this book is about money. I’m not going to waste my time reading it. I just think this book is very self-serving.”

Haney left Woods in May 2010 after six years in which the former world number one won six of his 14 majors.

He has not won one since and was out of the game for spells following first a sex scandal and then injury, but last month ended more than two years without tournament success when he captured the limited-field Chevron World Challenge in California.

Haney’s book, called ’The Big Miss’, is due to be published just before The Masters in April.

On deciding not to work with him any more, Haney had said: “Tiger Woods and I will always be friends.”
