Tiger Woods' former coach, Hank Haney, recently praised the 15-time major champion's short game. He said Woods was far more advanced than other golf greats.

Haney worked with Woods for six years, from 2004 to 2010. During this period, the duo won a whopping 31 titles on the PGA Tour, including six major championships.

On Tuesday, October 8, Haney shared a video on X of Tiger Woods speaking about his short game approach. In the clip, the 82-time PGA Tour winner is discussing his short game with Collin Morikawa.

"Tiger is a little more advanced than most the other greats, actually a lot more," Haney wrote in the caption while reposting the clip.
