Tiger Woods has done the work to achieve a level of greatness

Haney, appearing over a various ESPN shows on Monday, wrote in his book, "The Big Miss", that Woods injured himself while undergoing Navy SEALs training.

This self-serving book is filled with guesses and false assumptions. Most don't merit a result, but his stories about Tiger's injuries are Ping G20 irons only not true. Tiger's injuries, and the way they occurred, were just as described at the time they happened. Despite repeated claims that is a golf book, it isn't really."

Inside the book, Haney writes about hearing the story from Corey Carroll, among Woods' friends at Isleworth, the housing rise in Orlando, Fla., where Woods lived.

"My immediate thought upon hearing Corey's account, which so closely paralleled that of over in Minneapolis, was that it was true," Haney wrote. "And if you do, it meant that if Tiger never catches Jack Nicklaus, it is going to very likely have just as much to do with time and physical capacity he lost because of his bizarre Navy SEALs adventure as Ping G20 driver everything else."

Woods has received four surgeries on his left knee.

Haney also said he was rooting for Woods as you're watching him play at Bay Hill, saying it turned out discount golf clubs great for golf when Woods is playing well.

Haney also addressed claims that his book isn't about Woods the golfer, but delves too closely into Woods he outside the course. "It is a golf book," Haney said. "Injuries, if they happened in golf or not in golf, linked to golf."
