Tiger Woods’ longtime swing coach resigned Monday night, leaving the world’s No. 1 player without one of his top advisers as he tries to rebuild his game. Hank Haney said in a statement to the Golf Channel that he enjoyed working with Woods but he thinks it’s time for him to step aside as his coach. “I will always look back upon our past half-dozen years together as my best days in professional golf,” he said. “It would be a dream of any coach to have a student like Tiger Woods and for me it has come true. Just so there is no confusion I would like to make it clear that this is my decision. “I know Tiger Woods will be successful in the future no matter who helps him.” There had been speculation at The Players Championship that Woods was about to leave Haney, his swing coach since 2004. But he said earlier Monday he was working with Haney on his swing. http://sports.yahoo.com/golf/pga/news?slug=ap-woods-haney
