Navy SEALs deny training with Tiger

Tiger Woods never trained with the Navy SEALs and there was never any indication he planned to quit golf to join the elite team, a Navy SEALs spokeman said yesterday.

SEALs spokesman Capt. William Fenick told foxsports.com that Woods had visited the Naval Special Warfare Center on Coronado Island, Calif. "on a couple of occasions."

Fenick characterized Woods visit to the camp as a "walk and talk."

This is in stark contrast to Woods' former coach Hank Haney's assertion in his upcoming book, "The Big Miss," that the golfer was obsessed with becoming a SEAL and undertook "a program that approximated the training for a Navy SEAL candidate."



"The purpose was sort of a dry run to determine whether he could physically and mentally handle the demands," writes Haney.

No wonder Woods got so testy at that press conference yesterday when he was asked about the book— due to hit stores March 27, right before the Masters.
