Kick A Man While He's Down: Hank Haney Says Tiger's Kids Have Caused Him To Lose MOJO
How is it that any time I hear about Hank Haney these days it's because he has said something about Tiger Woods? I know he's a great swing coach but it seems like he has never really gotten over splitting with Woods, however acrimonious it was at the time. His continual interest in him and willingness to talk about him always reminds me of Floyd Mayweather's on-off-on relationship with his father Floyd Senior.
This time Haney is questioning Tiger's ambition and drive.
It also sounds like Haney has been tapping up Tiger's friend Tony Romo to check on his lost sheep.

This time Haney is questioning Tiger's ambition and drive.
"A lot of athletes continue to have a lot of drive. I mean, you can't question Peyton Manning's drive," says Haney. "But I saw Tiger's drive diminish as early as 2006. That's speculation and observation, but you can't deny that he doesn't practice as much. It could be because of his kids. It could be because of injuries. It doesn't matter what the because is. It's reality. The question is what happens now."
It also sounds like Haney has been tapping up Tiger's friend Tony Romo to check on his lost sheep.
"He's basically practiced one week out of the last six months," says Haney. "Tony Romo had the same surgery in December, and he told me that Tiger would come back much quicker than anybody thought because his core was so strong. But Tiger said last week that his swing wasn't explosive yet because he hadn't been able to do some of his weightlifting program. That means he still has some restrictions."
