After coaching Tiger Woods for years, Hank Haney reveals the one thing Tiger struggled to do on the golf course. Birdie Juice Merch: proshop.golf.c... Subscribe to our channel: / golfmagazine
Funny, both Haney and Williams are currently on podcasts singing TW praises. Guess they finally realised how blessed they were to be working with him. They have great stories to tell. 45% winning ratio says it all. No one even remotely close
I agree having watched tiger on the range in 05-08 it was unreal how every shot he hit with the 8i to 4i were 20 feet or less from the flag he was aiming at and his tempo was so much better on the range. In some ways I enjoyed watching hit balls on the range than playing
One thing I’d like to know and would love to hear Hank Haney answer, what in Tigers’ swing was he trying to improve on, when Hank took him on as a student? His swing and game were so incredible from the Butch Harmon years, what was the new goal?
He also hit a bad drive way right on the par 5 17th hole on Sunday at the 2018 PGA Championship. He did shoot a (-6) 64 that day and finished 2nd but he really needed eagle in on that hole in order to win. He was 3 down to Rahm after 16 and then he hit his drive way right and had to just chunk it back out onto the fairway and then he didn’t even hit the green on his third shot. He had to make like a 8 footer for par. If he had at least hit a good drive and birdied the hole it maybe would have put some pressure on Rahm. And I suppose if you want to get technical, he hit two bad shots on the 18th hole during Sunday’s round of the 2008 U.S. Open. He hit his drive in the bunker and then missed his layup shot into the the right rough. He just hit a really good shot from there and obviously made the putt.
True enough but the comment about not missing when it mattered most still rings out. There's just as many variables on the 72nd hole as on the first hole if not more.
Have you read the book? He doesn’t really tarnish him at all. In fact most of it he is just praising him, it’s merely an insight into his time with him, and I’m a huge Tiger fan
