Haney fires back at Tiger for saying he deserves suspension

Hank Haney has responded to Tiger Woods after the 15-time major winner said his former swing coach deserves to be suspended for his disparaging comments about Koreans on the LPGA Tour.

"Amazing how Tiger Woods now has become the moral authority on issues pertaining to women," Haney tweeted on Tuesday afternoon. "I spent six great years coaching Tiger, and not one time did he ever hear me utter one sexist or racist word. Now, in addition to being a 15-time major champion, I guess he thinks he's also a mind reader."

Haney found himself in hot water after saying on his radio show that he couldn't name six players on the LPGA Tour. Then he added: "Maybe I could. Well, I'd go with Lee. If I didn't have to name a first name, I'd get a bunch of them right."

Jeongeun Lee6 then won the U.S. Women's Open on Sunday, and Haney tried to justify his comments on twitter before congratulating Lee6.

Haney and Woods worked together from 2004 to 2010 before the former resigned from his position.

Woods' extra-marital affairs led to a high-profile scandal in 2009, and his marriage to Elin Nordegren ended in 2010 as a result.
