Product Information

After Winged Foot, Hank Haney, Woods' coach, spoke frankly with Tiger about "stepping it up in terms of practice time, and getting refocused," as he later put it. It wasn't exactly a riot act, but Tiger needed something to reawaken him, as anyone would after losing a parent. They wasted little time getting back to work. The following week they spent long hours on Isleworth's course, and hit plenty of range balls. In the weight room, Woods rechisled the muscles that on sticky summer days, with his hairless arms sweaty and his shirt clinging to his torso, made him look like something produced by Mattel-a Tiger Woods action figure. He was also spotted that week running windsprints on the driving range while wearing a sixty-pound weighted vest. Woods woke up early, as he always does, and began the arduous process of killing time before playing a late round of golf on a Sunday afternoon. He went for a six-mile, forty-minute run with Elin, Steve Williams, and trainer Keith Kleven-they had discovered a bike path that ran right along the coast, and afforded a scenic look at Wales across the Irish Sea. On their return, Elin made breakfast. Then Tiger settled onto the couch with his housemates to watch some television. As usual, Tiger had the remote, and quickly landed at CNN. They took in some Tour de France highlights and saw aftermath footage of the previous day's bombings in Lebanon that included jarring pictures of injured children. "Compared to that," Woods remarked to Williams, "the golf seems pretty unimportant." Nevertheless, he soon clicked over to the BBC's early coverage of the Open, to perform-again, as usual-their Sunday morning scouting of the day's pin positions. They knew the practice might not be condoned by the men who originally wrote the Rules of Golf. But after so many mornings just like this one-whiling away the hours before a late major championship final round tee-time-their thinking was simple. You'd be a fool not to do it. Book jacket.
