Haney says that in his opinion, many people were responsible for allowing Woods to remain an immature person. "I was one of Tiger's many enablers," he wrote. "Better than anyone else who ever lived, he could do that thing that other great athletes from Michael Jordan on down thought was harder than anything else in sports – close out a golf tournament. And my admiration for what that took kept me from ever really challenging Tiger to be a better human being – though, honestly, I never saw anyone else step up to the challenge, either. Maybe Earl [Woods' father] had, and maybe that was the thing Tiger would miss most. It was telling that when Tiger was asked to assess 2006, he called it his worst year, because of his father's death."
