HANK HANEY’S much-ballyhooed book, “The Big Miss,” is a treasure trove of Tiger Woods rumors and innuendo.
There’s some really great insight into Tiger’s ups and downs as a golfer (and a bunch of wonky golf-speak about the minute details of Tiger’s swing). But there’s also a whole lot of gossipy tidbits that should get copies of this thing flying off the shelves.
We read the book so you don’t have to, and picked out the most important things we learned.
1. Tiger was prepared to quit golf and join the military
2. Hank Haney was only paid $50k a year
3. Tiger has a mental block when he uses the driver
4. OMG! Useless gossip
5. Tiger read everything online about the scandal
6. Steve Williams asked for a raise the first time they spoke after the scandal
7. We now know why he changes his swing constantly
8. Tiger is kind of a nerd
9. His injuries started after he took up extreme exercises
10. Getting anthroscopic knee surgery after the Masters did some damage
