New Tiger Woods Biography Claims Golf Champ is ‘Cheap’ and a ‘Narcissist’

*Tiger Woods has been branded a “pathological narcissist” in a bombshell book from sports journalist and former golf pro Curt Sampson, titled  “Roaring Back: The Fall and Rise of Tiger Woods,” released last week. 

Sampson claims the millionaire golfer was so tight with his money that he paid his coach, Hank Haney — who worked with him from 2004 until 2010 — just $50,000-a-year,  even though when Tiger was at the height of his career, he was reportedly earning an estimated $1.5 billion. Haney even had to pay for his own accommodation while travelling with Woods, The Sun reports. 

Sampson interviewed respected sports journalist John Garrity, who first met Woods as a teen sportsman in 1992. Garrity unleashes in Sampson’s biography, noting that by 2007, the golfer’s persona had hardened and significantly changed. 

“All of his human relationships were transactional,” Garrity alleges.

“If you couldn’t help him achieve his goals, he had no use for you. He’d walk past and look right through you.”

To support claims that Tiger was a cheap skate, Sampson quotes a country club owner who twice hosted Woods and his father Earl, per Daily Mail

 “They assumed we’d buy them breakfast, lunch and dinner… which we did,” the owner said. “But they were the most unappreciative. They never once said thank you.”

Sampson writes: “Narcissists don’t mind spending other people’s money because we’re in their debt already, and they find it hard to say ‘thank you’ for the same reason.”

The book also reveals details of Woods’ ambitions to become an elite Navy SEAL and his string of extramarital affairs, which ultimately lead to Tiger’s spectacularly fell from grace.

Sampson writes: “He fell from such a high place that he was halfway to earth before we mere mortals even recognized him as one of us.”

But the book also tracks Woods’ redemption. 

Woods won his fifth Masters title in Augusta in April – and was later awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Donald Trump.

Parts of the book appeared in The New York Post on Saturday — read here
