In October of 2007, media speculated that Tiger Woods had fired coach Hank Haney, who was no longer showing up at tourneys with Tiger as he had before. Tiger denied the firing, but acknowledged a reduced role at tourneys. Well, the speculation continued into 2009 about the surprising reduction in Haney’s presence and the possibility that he might be fired.
Now that we know about Tiger Woods’s sexual affairs during this time period, the diminishment of Haney’s role as coach may be seen in a different light. Haney basically has said “no comment” about whether he knew of those affairs–which is in stark contrast to caddie Steve Williams, who said adamantly that he had “no knowledge” of the sexual affairs.
Does anyone else think there might be a connection between Haney’s reduced role and Tiger Woods’s apparent sexual affairs during this same period?
