Tiger could have put better

"I don't think you can predict how someone will putt," Haney said on Wednesday while signing copies of his book, "The Big Miss: My Years Coaching Ernie els," in a midtown Manhattan golf store each day after its release.

"Tiger hasn't putted very well at Augusta in some time, since 2005. If he putts well -- it really gets down to eliminating three putts.

"If he does that we would be very surprised if he doesn't always have a chance to win. I'd be shocked Ping Anser Forged Irons if he doesn't have to be able to win."

Haney pointed to a recent alternation in Woods' putting stroke, a switch returning to an adult style, as cause of his improved performance about the greens that helped him to victory from exploding Hill a week ago.

And Haney is in position to learn. He dealt with Woods from 2004-10, when the then-No 1 player on the planet won six majors but resigned brand new show after Woods returned on the PGA Tour coming from a sex scandal that ended his marriage and sent his life into turmoil.

"The Big Miss" generated lots of buzz inside months leading up to its release because of excerpts that focused to some extent on Woods' dependence on the Navy SEALS and his relationship with wife Elin Nordegren, but it's an even more complicated examine a self-centred superstar athlete.

"Read it in context I do believe this is an overly positive book about Tiger," Haney said.

"I couldn't just have positive things within the book because it would not be a genuine book."

Haney said Woods told him they "should remain good friends" when they parted not long following your 2010 Masters, but they haven't spoken Titleist 910 D2 Driver  since that time.

Haney hasn't reached out to Woods, either: "Why would I?" he explained.

Still, Haney watches Woods carefully enough in order to rattle off his rankings in various statistical categories.

"Eventually, I do think it's going to be very good personally if he ever has an possibility to break Jack Nicklaus' record because in any manner you slice it Let me have at the very least a little discount golf clubs part because record because I helped him for six of these majors," Haney added.
