The perfect world that was Tiger Woods pre-Thanksgiving '09 continues to crumble around him, as swing coach Hank Haney has resigned from his position.
Haney started working with Tiger in 2004, and they combined to win six major championships together. The relationship has been a bit strained as of late, with rumors flying around that Tiger has been working with swing coach Sean Foley (something Foley vehemently denied).
It also raises the thought that Haney might have seen the axe coming his way, as Tiger has been totally lost with his golf swing Mizuno MP-58 Irons since returning to competitive golf.
While there isn't much comparing when talking Tiger and slumps, his play the last 18 months has been anything but spectacular. A missed cut in a major (only his second ever), and no wins since the 2008 U.S. Open raised a ton of questions about the state of Woods' game.
The other side of the coin might have been that Haney was sick of getting all the blame for Tiger's troubled play, and decided it was time to pull his name from the mud. Haney runs golf schools and has won numerous coaching awards, and to continually get smeared because one of your students isn't playing up to snuff might have been too much of a slap in the face for Haney to overcome.
No matter, this means that Tiger will have to find someone new to help him with his golf Mizuno MX-25 Irons swing, and as anyone that has worked with a teacher knows, all teachers finds something different with your swing that needs changing, so expect some tweaking to go on with Woods once again.
