Eldrick Actually Has An Opinion On Something

Tiger Woods' former swing coach Hank Haney is writing a book about his time with Eldrick and expects it to drop right before The Masters.

Predictably, Woods is all bent, calling it quote, “unprofessional” and saying it violates their working relationship, friendship, and that it's nothing more than a cash grab. No way!. An all time, Woods' first. The guy actually has an opinion. A bad one. But an opinion, nonetheless. Of course it's a cash grab; every book in the history of the world is a cash grab. And as far as it violating your working relationship and friendship, those two (things) went out the window the second you fired him, Tige. I'll tell you what's unprofessional. Your lack of mental toughness... You're already rattled by a book that hasn't even come out yet. Besides, how does something as inconsequential as this even ding your radar. You can't control what people say or write about you, so why would you spend even a second on it.

This guy still doesn't get it: used to be, he could bully, intimidate and roll over everyone around him. But that's when he was on top and everyone was terrified of the cat. But no one's afraid of him anymore. And although he's not nearly what he once was, he still has a huge bulls-eye on his back: a bull's-eye that comes from once being the biggest and most powerful athlete in the world only to have one of the greatest athlete meltdowns ever. Of course, people are coming for you and trying to cash in off your name: that's the gig: especially after you started running around with a bunch of bims that weren't your wife and bouncing your rig off a tree on Thanksgiving night. Just be glad Haney's writing about golf and none of that. You want unprofessional? Unprofessional is forgetting to have this guy sign a confidentiality agreement when you hired him.
