so, tiger woods has finally sacked hank, after claiming hes been playing with a patched together 'band aid' swing where will he go now?

[bonneau13]

you already have this on other forums, and wheres this proof

[HCEG1]

He might have got it from Britain's 'Sun' newspaper. Hardly the most reliable source. However, I think the split was/is inevitable and, given Tiger's mighty wealth, the Sun wouldn't run the risk of being sued, so I actually reckon it's true.

We'll soon find out.

[nickGT]

Excellent news if he has. However with no substantial evidence its barely worth discussing.

[tbowles411]

Like in the other thread, the Sun isn't exactly the authority in news...just like our Enquirer...

[blade_man]

Did this come to you in a dream or? I have check thegolfchannel.com espn.com and others and no word like this.

[BJG718]

at the end of the article, it asks for a reaction to it. i dont know much about journalism, but given the gravity of this sort of story, i tend to think they are simply fishing for readers.

[theelvis510]

Doesn't seem to hold much water. HH is still up on Tiger's site as the official pair of eyes. I'll believe it when he get taken off of TW's site.

How can you question a source that also publishes a photo of Paris Hilton playing with her breasts?

That's just good journalism.

Zzzzzz....

It would be on TGC scrolling across the bottom or they would even break in with that news. Also, it would be all over the news.. etc .. etc

[Money03]

Again... When he was knocking down pins with Haney, it was a fine swing. I mean seriously... just give it time and let it play out. Ultimately, as Tiger's shown his dominance with different coaches it's about Tiger and not the person giving him instruction.

[Top Dog]

There is no evidence yet. This rumour started ages ago.

who's he going to go with now? that is, if this is true news.

[slickpitt]

Next they're going to report that he was abducted by aliens

They looked more substantial when viewed through a night vision lens. :one night in Paris:

you know what always confused me about that video? the fact that there was another video filmed in full, clear, normal lighting that never got any attention. weirrrrrrrrd.

wait, what are we talking about?

[ZBigStick]

He must have finally talked with Lee Trevino.

On another note, do you think Nike will continue its contract with Haney if/when Tiger and Hank cease to have a professional partnership? Those teachers seem to just companies fairly often, (Rick Smith, Jim MacLean, Faldo schools)

Is Tiger's decision contingent on Charles Barkley's results?

[desaille]

its simple
Tiger is jealous since Haney is spending so much time with Barkley

[arkstorm]

If it was printed in the Sun it has to be true. They're best source for breaking news from the golf world. They always get exclusives long before the Golf Channel so I'm not surprised that they broke this first -- yeah right.

hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe, I'm sorry stage, I started with a giggle and it turned into a full blown laugh! Now my co workers are looking at me sorta funny.... PS there is a button under the picture that says "enlarge" is that the picture or a hint to Paris?

[worst_shot_ever]

The Sun article itself doesn't even say it's factually true. It just notes the well publicized claim of a harsh-exchange between the two at the Masters, Tiger's comments about his swing troubles, and then some unidentified idiot who assures us Tiger wouldn't say anything but would just show up without HH at the next tourney. It's not like they even cited an anonymous source who claims the break up actually happened -- it's presented as speculation. Nothing to see here that hasn't been speculatively asked on a million internet forums since the Masters and before.

[HCEG1]

So, back to topic,

Does anyone think they won't part company at some stage in Tiger's career? For sure, it will happen...

Did they have a bust-up on the range at ANGC? YES

Has Tiger been quoted as saying he's playing with a 'Band Aid Swing' YES

Is his swing with the driver all over the place? YES

Is he spraying the ball across 2 fairways at times with the big stick? YES

Are many guys on tour saying it's 'when' not 'if' YES

Is his driving worthy of the world's #1 player? Duhhhh!

They will undoubtedly split. Why is it so hard for some to take in?

There's a very good chance that it's already happened

[adam1234]

Ok, clearly the Americans have no idea about the wholesome, trustworthy, integrity-filled journalism that The Sun produces day after day. But this story simply MUST be true if they printed it.

If you doubt the honest nature of the paper why not log on to www.thesun.co.uk/superbabes
or read their 'Pope signs up to Facebook' article.

Both truly insightful pieces of journalism that will leave you in no doubt whatsoever about the credibility of the source of the Haney article.

I've also heard rumours that the replacement he will be teaming up with is none other than Setanta Sports' very own Scott Cranfield.

Just one more thing to mention since you are so eager to point out how terribly TW is hitting it......TW is leading the tour in scoring average by something like half a stroke. He really is terrible!

I must say, however, I'm slightly doubtful ... Tiger - and the media people at Tiger Inc. - are pretty polished when they make public statements. I can't really see Tiger even thinking he's playing with a "patched together, band-aid swing" ... (indeed, he's said things quite the opposite) ... but even if he was thinking it, it is just not something he'd ever say in public I don't think.

You mean like he 'publicly stated' in a post-round interview at the Masters...?

Tiger's swing and scoring average really aren't all that related. The man is a scoring genius - he finds ways to get the ball in the hole. His swing, at Quail Hollow and Sawgrass, was terrible. He'll be the first to tell you that.

I'm not sure if it's Hank's fault, players just go through funks in their swings - it's inevitable.

His funk is consisting of all top tens and a win, though....

[blade_man]

GOLFWEEK also said this is not true, received my copy the other day and just read the article.

(I can hardly, for instance, see him going to Leadbetter).

Leadbetter hypnotizes players into signing him on. That's his only talent. He's known for totally screwing people up.

If I ran an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet, and I saw that guy walk in the door, I'd tell him that he couldn't eat there for the fear that he would permanently **** (legitimate use of the word!) the business!

Absolutely. He looks like he's going to shoot 75, but through unreal scrambling, persistence, determination and (usually) some clutch putts, somehow turns it into 69.

His scoring is good, yes, but his swing, at times, looks as bad as it's ever been. Anyone who knows anything about the golf swing can see this. In fact, most 7 year olds can

Peter Jacobsen has labelled him 'The second coming of Severiano Ballesteros'. This is unkind to Seve, as many of his drives into the rough were deliberate to give himself a better angle in to the flag. Tiger, on the other hand, just doesn't have a clue where the ball is going off the tee.

i most certainly did not hear that. i'm sure scott cranfield is a very good coach but by working for setanta, in my view, he loses all credibility and becomes an object of humour

Didn't he sue and win against them for publishing photoshopped pictures of his wife... If so seems highly doubtful they are an accurate source of data.

Maybe Barkley is ruining Hanks teaching skills.. Instead of fixing Barkley, he is now teaching Charles swing to his pupils..
