Here is what Tiger had to say about his split with Sean Foley.
Tiger Woods let’s Sean Foley go as his swing coach
“I’d like to thank Sean for his help as my coach and for his friendship,” Woods said. “Sean is one of the outstanding coaches in golf today, and I know he will continue to be successful with the players working with him. With my next tournament not until my World Challenge event at Isleworth in Orlando, this is the right time to end our professional relationship.”
“My time spent with Tiger is one of the highlights of my career so far, and I am appreciative of the many experiences we shared together,” Foley said. “It was a lifelong ambition of mine to teach the best player of all time in our sport. I am both grateful for the things we had the opportunity to learn from one another, as well as the enduring friendship we have built. I have nothing but respect and admiration for him.”
“Presently, I do not have a coach, and there is no timetable for hiring one,” added Woods.

Tiger is on the prowl again in hopes of finding his old swing. Or at least a swing that he can control and move into the spotlight in the Majors once again. In my option I think that Tiger will go it alone for a while. This will give him some time to clear his head get his body back into competitive shape and then in he is still in search he might look for another instructor to work with. Tiger has gone on alone before but without positive results. I think that even a high profile player such as Tiger needs another set of eyes that he trusts to get the most out of his swing. Two heads are better than one and as long as the swing his goes to does not cause any more body damage we will see him make a run before his PGA Tour career is over.
