Radar: Coach who left Tiger has 'No regard for a person like that'

So is there more to this Hank Haney resignation than meets the eye? Like everything else in Tiger Woods’ life these days; probably. Woods’ golf coach resigned from Team Tiger on Monday, apparently via text message, which I found humorous. Leave it to a 55-year-old to fail to realize that you just don’t break up with someone that way; you do it on Facebook. But now Radar Online comes along with far more revealing allegations: Haney, the site says, quit Tiger because of all the fooling around on Elin.

A source close to Haney tells RadarOnline.com that despite their long partnership, and having worked closely together for six years, Haney no longer felt able to continue working with Woods as he has “no regard for a person like that.”

In his official statement, Haney told the Golf Channel he’s had great times working for Woods, but feels it’s his time to step down, for which he did not give a specific reason.

The source fills in the blanks though, telling RadarOnline.com, “Hank is a very proper person. He is a good and moral man and very private.

“He’s been horrified by the revelations that have come out regarding Tiger and his behavior and quite frankly says he has no regard for a person that acts like that.

“Hank doesn’t want to be mixed up in that kind of, you know, whatever’s going on.”

Oh come on, “source,” don’t act like such an innocent. I think that after all that’s been said and written about this, you can go ahead and figure out what’s been going on.
Of course another possibility is that Haney was driven insane after trying to fix Barkley’s swing.

    He has such high standards he is helping Charles Barkley. Do you honestly believe Tigers morals are the reason he quit? You and he should remember”glass houses”.
