Justin Rose splits with long-term swing coach Sean Foley
2020 is seemingly the year of change for Justin Rose, with his split from Honma now followed by a parting of ways with his swing instructor of 11 years Sean Foley.
The Telegraph’s James Corrigan revealed the news of the split on Tuesday evening, with Rose reportedly wanting to oversee his own swing methods going forward for the foreseeable future.
In response to the parting of ways, Rose told the publication
“I spent the past three months working on my game at home. I made a lot of progress and wanted to keep that momentum going when I returned to competition in Fort Worth. I felt it was a good time to take complete ownership of my swing and game. That idea is something Sean has always wanted for me.
I am grateful for the successes I had under his tutelage and the career goals I was able to achieve. The door is open whenever I have questions or want his guidance, as he continues to be one of my closest friends.”
Foley is well known for overseeing Tiger Woods’ swing when the 15-time major champ returned to World Number One in 2013, but has since lost the services of Westwood, Hunter Mahan and Sean O’Hair in recent times.
In their period together, Rose won the 2013 U.S. Open, Olympic Gold and reached World Number One in the Official World Golf Ranking.
Rose finished T3 at last week’s Charles Schwab Challenge and will tee it up once again this week at the RBC Heritage.

What Foley tried to do with Tiger’s swing went against his DNA. It was unnatural for him and all the compression and rotation at minimum contributed to his back issues and possibly caused them.

O’Hair left years ago and who’s Hunter Mahan? As for Rosie & Honma, that was shorter than a Pam Anderson marriage.
