Tiger Woods and Hank Haney started working together back in March 2004. It was shortly after Woods split with his former coach Butch Harmon. Haney was popular for his analytical approach to the game, and Woods chose him to bring a fresh approach to his methods.
The 82-time PGA Tour winner had a successful time while Haney was on his side. Tiger Woods improved his swing a lot, bringing substantial changes in the mechanics. The duo parted ways in 2010.
Woods enjoyed immense success while being coached by Haney. From 2004 to 2010, Woods won six major championships.
The legendary golfer also won 31 PGA Tour events, with eight wins in 2006 and seven wins in 2007. The 15-time major champion had one of his most iconic major wins under Haney. Woods won the 2008 U.S. Open in Torrey Pines Golf Course with a fractured left tibia and a torn ACL.
