, during the broadcast of the U.S. Open
's 18-hole playoff, as "looking like the guy who cleans Tiger Woods
's pool". Mediate, who has battled many physical problems throughout his career, nevertheless played superbly, and took the heavily-favored Woods to an 18-hole playoff before losing; Mediate later laughed off the remark. Miller has also written a column for Golf Digest

Miller wrote the book I Call The Shots, a look at the PGA Tour's personalities during his peak years, the Tour's current stars, as well as broadcasting insights.
