Hank Haney and Tiger Woods parted ways in 2010 after about six years of coach-player relationship. During this period, the golfer claimed several PGA Tour titles including six majors. Woods and Haney had met through their mutual relationship with the instructor's past pupil and two-time major winner, Mark O'Meara.
In 2022, Haney appeared on the Golf's Subpar podcast, where he shared his experience of coaching Woods and the mistakes the legendary golfer made on the golf course. The golf coach also stated that pressure and nervousness get to Tiger Woods, making him struggle on the first tee like any other golfer. He backed this opinion with how he had seen him not miss a single shot at the driving range.
Haney outlined his coaching years with Woods in a biography, The Big Miss: My years coaching Tiger Woods which was released in March 2012.
Tiger Woods' former coach backs Rory McIlroy as the 2025 Masters winner justifies skipping media
Before the tee off at the 2025 PGA Championship, Rory McIlroy's driver was deemed 'non-conforming' by the authorities. Following this report, McIlroy skipped the media interviews and refused to share any comments about the situation throughout the event at Quail Hollow.
During the pre-tournament press conference at the RBC Canadian Open, the Northern Irish golfer explained to the journalists why he decided not to attend any of the post-round interviews throughout the week with justifications for each day.
McIlroy shared that he was 'pissed off' and 'annoyed' by the whole situation, about the information that was leaked, which was otherwise supposed to be confidential. Hank Haney shared the video clip from the interview via Kyle Porter to express his appreciation for McIlroy. Haney wrote:
"Very good explanation by @McIlroyRory."

After a disappointing week, the 2025 Masters champion spoke about his concerns and changes he planned to make for the U.S. Open at the Oakmont Country Club next week. McIlroy also shared that he would be testing drivers over the weekend as a part of the preparation.
