The Mental Edge
"Woods' ability to produce peak performance by 'willing myself into the zone' is unprecedented... And at age 13, Tiger began mental training with Dr. Jay Brunza, a family friend and psychologist... Among the techniques Brunza used were subliminal tapes and hypnosis. 'The first time Jay hypnotized Tiger, he had him stick his arm straight out and told him that it couldn't be moved, 'Earl [Tiger's father] says. 'I tried, but I couldn't pull it down. [Tiger says hypnosis is] 'inherent in what I do now.'"
