Tiger’s swing coach resigns

Tiger Woods\' longtime swing coach resigned last night, leaving the world\'s Number One 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.



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.



Haney\'s resignation is another blow for Woods, who was forced to withdraw during the final round at TPC Sawgrass because of neck spasms. It was his first withdrawal from a tournament since the Nissan Open at Riviera in 2006, and came on the heels of his missed cut at Quail Hollow following the highest 36-hole score of his career.



Haney was right by Woods\' side as he prepared to compete in the Masters in his first tournament since a sex scandal shattered his image. He tied for fourth at Augusta, but it\'s been all downhill since.
