About the time I thought nothing could get worse for Tiger Woods, the bottom falls out from under him.

Woods' swing coach Hank Haney announced he was stepping down from his position Monday night. The report came amidst numerous reports that Woods was going to fire his coach of six years.

Woods released a statement Tuesday that said he understood Haney's decision, and that he would remain friends with arguably the best golf coach in the world.

There have been no reports as to who might be Woods next coach.

Woods has had arguably the worst six months of his professional career. In November, reports leaked of infidelity with numerous women. Then came his announcement that he would not play competitive golf for quite some time.

He then returned and finished fourth at the Masters. Mix in a missed cut at Quail Hollow and his WD at The Players Championship due to a neck injury, and I'm starting to wonder if he'll ever be back to the Woods I grew up watching. Time will tell, but things are not looking up for the world's No. 1 golfer.

What do you think about the recent months for Woods? Let me know.
