Tiger Woods is getting angry. He blew up at Hank Haney at the masters. He has a habit of firing people when he's doing poorly. (Harmon, his caddie before Williams), so who's next? Williams or Haney?

I cant see him staying with Haney much longer, he needs someone to blame.

His big issue was putting, and that can't be a swing coach's problem. Yea his driving is off, but still his big problem this week so far has been putting.

Sorry, but these guys are too much with the swing coaches.

Imagine Lee Trevino or Jack Nicklaus blaming a coach for their game going sour?

They should know their own swings.

Nicklaus changes his ball flight week to week based on the course to be played for gosh sakes.

Jack Grout was visited once at the start of each season to ensure his fundamentals were sound. That's it.

I'm down to a 10 handicap. At this rate, I'll get to scratch at 90 years old!

Tiger Woods is getting angry. He blew up at Hank Haney at the masters.

And then he said later that he was over it, and he and Hank are fine. Part of Hank's job, no doubt, is to take some of Tiger's venting.

He has a habit of firing people when he's doing poorly. (Harmon, his caddie before Williams), so who's next? Williams or Haney?

Harmon was fired because Tiger didn't like that left knee move that Harmon had him doing. Fluff was fired because he talked too much. Neither was fired because Tiger was "doing poorly." Harmon coached Tiger through perhaps the greatest 1-2 year stretch we'd ever seen.

I don't think he fires anyone.

hes not firing anyone.

tiger just needs rounds under his belt, and everything will start clicking like the old tiger.

he hasnt played good at augusta since they did the re model back in 01. so it was not a shock to me that he didnt win.

he just needs to get a streak of some good rounds of putting going, build that confidence back up.

Here's a snippet from an article I found online..

The Golf Digest article -- in which Fluff talked in detail about his compensation -- did indeed rankle Woods, but by the time that came out a divorce was probably inevitable. When Tiger turned pro Fluff was handpicked by IMG, whose brass was correct in believing Tiger needed a well-liked, veteran caddie. That he was loveable (and marketable) was a bonus. Two and a half years later Woods had outgrown Fluff. Tiger knew the courses and the towns, and Fluff's cresting celebrity was an increasing liability. Fluff brought more yahoos shouting from the gallery and impeded his man's mobility by indulging every autograph request. More damning, Fluff seemed to buy into this elevated status. The word among the caddies is that he asked for a vacation week on a date when Woods is planning to play a tournament. This is mildly outrageous, considering Tiger only plays 23 or 24 weeks a year. Also, Fluff often traveled with Woods, frequently by private plane, and he liked to bring his twentysomething fiancée along.

"One of the reasons Arnie Palmer is playing so well is that, before each final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them. Oh my God, what have I just said."

Tiger, the greatest golfer ever, has not hit his driver consistent for about 5 years. But he still wins more than anyone. I would love to know the inside story about his driver issues, because it's gotta be causing some major headaches in his "camp'.

Fluff != Stevie.

Tiger was Stevie's best man at his wedding.

And who would Tiger work with next? Rick Smith? David Leadbetter? Please.

Again, I don't think he's going to be firing anyone.

I think Williams is awesome, and one of the best caddies in the PGA. I didnt actually think he;d fire Williams.

But with the blowup at haney at the masters, I figured it was coming to an end with him.. didnt know they settled it.

All I know is Tiger can't seem to hit a driver to save his life, and Haney is his "swing coach"...nothing more need be said really, definitely more work needed there.

I don't understand how a guy that is supposedly a "Guru" , can't even fix the driver swing of best golfer on the planet, even though Tiger practices hard and plays everyday.

After some more time hitting full tilt he may/should regain his form, but he hits fairways like a high handicapper right now.

Gotta agree with Erik. Stevie is a caddie (and a good one to boot) and a buddy. So I doubt he's going anywhere. And unless there's a super swing coach that can straighten out his driver, who's he going to go to next?

Tiger's life is extraordinary. He has all the money in the world can go anywhere he wants yet is so confining. He has millions that adore him yet he can only trust very few. He appears to be an unshakable man, yet there is a darker side of him I feel. Something unforgiving.
