New York: The Big Miss, a book written by Tiger Woods' former swing coach Hank Haney, will be released in March and offer a personal account of the six tumultuous years they spent together before the golfer's life imploded in scandal.
The book, described as a "candid and surprisingly insightful account" by publishers Crown Archetype at Random House, reviews the highly successful partnership between Haney and Woods which led to six major championship victories.
However, the book also addresses Haney's two biggest challenges while working as swing coach for 14-times major winner Woods.
"Always haunting Tiger was his fear of ‘the big miss' — the wildly inaccurate golf shot that can ruin an otherwise solid round," Crown Archetype said in a synopsis of the book on the Random House website. Haney's other task was to try and solve "the riddle of Tiger's personality", Crown Archetype said.
The book will be published March 27, a week before the 2012 Masters.
