TIGER WOODS tried to say as little as possible Wednesday about the excerpts from former coach Hank Haney’s book that hit the Internet this week.

A testy exchange ensued when a reporter pressed him for confirmation or denial of Haney’s claim that Woods considered walking away from the game to pursue becoming a U.S. Navy SEAL.

“I’ve already commented on everything,” he said, referring to statements six weeks ago that called Haney’s publication of The Big Miss unprofessional.

The excerpts, posted on Golf Digest’s website, included observations about Woods’ troublesome left knee and a growing urgency to surpass Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major titles. What raised eyebrows, though, was the one about trading his clubs for special-ops duty.

“Tiger was seriously considering becoming a Navy SEAL,” Haney wrote. “I didn’t know how he’d go about it, but when he talked about it, it was clear he had a plan.”
