PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – It didn’t take long for Tiger Woods to go on the attack in his first trip to the Honda Classic in nearly 20 years. But he was in the press room, not on the golf course. His road to the Masters is not off to a smooth start. Excerpts from Hank Haney’s book on his six years as Woods’ swing coach are starting to be released. So when he was asked about the relentless scrutiny of his swing, his putting, just about everything, Woods fired the first volley. “Yeah, I know,” he said. “I think you’re one of the guys that does that, too.”

There was nervous laughter before Woods continued. “It’s part of who I am and what I’ve accomplished,” he said. “I think it would have been probably similar if Jack (Nicklaus) was probably in my generation. Didn’t quite have the media scrutiny that they do now. And it’s just a different deal, and I know that a lot of players don’t get the same analysis with their games that I do. But it’s been like that since I turned pro.”

When questions turned to the book, Woods grew testy. Golf Digest on Tuesday began to release excerpts from Haney’s book, The Big Miss, and in one of them, Haney details Woods’ fascination with the military, particularly the Navy SEALs. The news conference at PGA National turned awkward when Alex Miceli, a writer and contributor to Golf Channel, asked Woods if he considered being a Navy SEAL. “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. Haney’s book is scheduled for release March 27.
