Tiger and Hank Haney Swing coach Hank Haney and Tiger part ways

As if things couldn’t get any worse for Tiger, now his swing coach Hank Haney who has been with him for six years has decided to leave.

I would like to thank Tiger for the opportunity that I have had to work with him over the past 6 plus years. Tiger Woods has done the work to achieve a level of greatness that I believe the game of golf has never seen before and I will always appreciate the opportunity that I have had to contribute to his successes. I have also enjoyed the association that I have had with Tiger both on and off the golf course as I have had some incredible experiences. In coaching and teaching Tiger I have also learned a lot, not only about golf, but about people and life in general. It has been a great learning experience and along the way Tiger has elevated me in my own profession to a level that I never thought I would achieve before I had the opportunity to work with him.

In many ways because of all of the time that I have spent with Tiger, I may have learned more from him than he has ever learned from me. So I believe at this time that it is in both of our best interests for me to step aside as Tiger’s coach.

There are rumors that Tiger may have let Haney go himself a week ago but those rumors are unconfirmed. Of course, there will now be speculation that Tiger will return to his old pal Butch Harmon. Considering the free-fall he’s undergoing right now, it might be something his game could use.

However, Tiger’s problems are far from just golf related. There’s a strong indication that his divorce with Elin is imminent and that he’s hired a prominent divorce lawyer in West Palm Beach to handle it.

And for all of you who think money can solve all your problems, well, would you trade places with Tiger right now?

What'd you think of this?
