A shattering new biography about Tiger Woods claims he was ‘obnoxious’ and rude towards former president Bill Clinton during a 2006 round of golf.

Tiger Woods is the new book by journalists Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian.

It is based on 400 interviews and publicly available information about the greatest golfer in the world.

In one excerpt from the book that was published last week by Golf World, the authors describe the 2006 round of golf which Woods and Clinton took part the day before the opening of his Tiger Woods Learning Center.

According to them, before Clinton had arrived at the Shady Canyon Country Club in Irvine, southern California, Woods, had an attitude.

It had been nine years since he turned down Clinton’s invitation to join him at a 1997 event to celebrate the black baseballer Jackie Robinson and Clinton was reportedly his first choice for the appearance to promote his charity.

In 2006, Tiger Woods was ‘obnoxious’ during a round of golf with former president Bill Clinton, according to a new, damning biography about the golfer. The pair are pictured in 2017 with former president George W. Bush

‘Tiger wanted to know if the president had arrived. When told Clinton was on his way, Woods replied with a straight face, “I can’t wait to talk about p***y.”” the book reads.

Once Clinton arrived, his behavior became worse, the authors allege.

Clinton’s former aide Doug Band, who was there on the day in question, denies the authors’ account of the day but Keteyian told DailyMail.com he stands by it.

In the book, Keteyian wrote: ‘Tiger’s behavior did nothing to bridge the gap between him and Clinton.

‘At the outset, Clinton started carrying on, monopolizing the conversation, as he was known to do, before Woods interrupted and said, “How do you remember all that s***?

‘Once they got onto the course, Tiger acted completely indifferent to the entire group, mostly riding alone in his cart and spending an inordinate amount of time on his phone.

‘After finishing a hole, he would routinely exit the green while others were still putting, a major breach of golf etiquette.

‘When the president hit a wayward drive, Woods snickered. He also told a series of off-color jokes,’ the excerpt continues.

The round of golf happened a day before Clinton appeared at the opening of Woods’ education center, the Tiger Woods Learning Center in Anaheim, California. They are pictured the following day at the facility

Woods has already slighted Clinton by refusing his invitation to a 1997 baseball event honoring black baseball player Jackie Robinson whose widow Rachel (center) attended

A source who spoke about the day said Woods was ‘obnoxious’ and that his allegedly bad behavior offended Clinton.

‘It was so clear to me that day who Tiger really was. I’ve never seen the president more put off by a person than that experience,’ the unnamed source said.

Neither Woods’ representatives nor others who were there for the day – namely Casey Wasserman – replied to DailyMail.com’s requests for comment on Tuesday.

Doug Band, a former Clinton aide who was there, has disputed it passionately.

He penned his own piece for GolfWorld in response to the excerpt and chipped away at its accuracy, labeling the book ‘mean spirited’ and untrue.

The claims are made in Tiger Woods, a recently published documentary about the golfer

‘For a short piece, it’s striking how much is wrong, in fact and in spirit, in the excerpt from the new Tiger Woods biography, about Bill Clinton’s role in the opening of the Tiger Woods Learning Center in February 2006 in Southern California.

‘I played golf with Tiger and President Clinton that day. As Counselor to President Clinton at the time, I oversaw everything having to do with the visit, and there is hardly an accurate or true word in the excerpt,’ he said.

He admitted Woods asking Clinton ‘how do you remember all that s***?’ but said it was more of an admiration than insult.

He also pointed to photographs which show the men were in the same golf cart from the day in question.

In refute of his denial, Keteyian told DailyMail.com that Band himself acted as a source for some of the section on the day in question.

‘Doug Band is flat-out wrong in his cover-my-butt comments. Since he has already outed himself as a source, I can confirm I called Doug to fact-check certain parts of that Clinton-Woods section – the name of the club, names and number of men in the group, etc.

‘As Band himself confirmed as the sourced “longtime staffer,” Clinton’s camp was upset that it took months for Tiger to sign and return an autograph picture of Woods and the former President.

The provocative “The whole experience was a lot of I’m Tiger Woods, king of the world…” quote ending that section came from Band himself.

Woods (pictured with Phil Mickelson at the Masters on Tuesday in Augusta, Georgia) did not respond to the claims

‘Furthermore, Band was not the source of our unflattering characterization of that round of golf; it was another member of the five some who was very descriptive and specific in his displeasure.

‘So, to be clear: we stand by our reporting,’ he said.

At the time, Woods was still in favor with the sporting and celebrity world as the greatest golfer of all time.

His marriage was yet to collapse and his serial infidelity with strippers and playmates was yet to be exposed.

The book has been touted as the most in-depth analysis of the 42-year-old’s life so far.

Its release coincides with Woods’ long-awaited comeback in the 2018 Masters.

In other sections, the authors analyse Woods’ parents relationship and suggest how it may have influenced his own treatment of women.

The book also seeks to explain why Woods refused Clinton’s invitation to the Jackie Robinson event years earlier.

According to the authors’ sources, he was angry that other black athletes had signed on to appear at the event before he was asked to attend and reportedly said ‘screw him.’
