Klein On Big Miss: "The result makes for an alarming look at an athlete whose public glories masked a day-to-day existence of profound superficiality."

I'm early in the book, but Brad Klein of Golfweek has the same positive impression of The Big Miss, as evidenced in this quick online review:

Even more revealing than the swing material is evidence of Woods’ emotional blank wall: his indifference to people around him, his inability to empathize, and an obsession with military training and the Navy SEALS that, according to Haney, probably led to the leg injuries which have hampered Woods’ golf career.

How much of this is Haney’s insight and how much of this is due to his writing collaborator, Jaime Diaz, can only be a matter of speculation. The result makes for an alarming look at an athlete whose public glories masked a day-to-day existence of profound superficiality.

"When he returned to golf at the 2010 Masters, Tiger Woods broke par all four rounds. He has not done that at any tournament since then."

From Doug Ferguson's AP notes column. Oddly, I have to marvel more at the notion that he broke par all four rounds in his first event back. It really was an amazing performance.
