Hank Haney is an American professional golf instructor best known for coaching Tiger Woods and two-time major championship winner Mark O'Meara. A graduate of the University of Tulsa, Haney owns and operates four teaching facilities in the Dallas, Texas area.
Haney says, "My philosophy as a teacher is to teach my students to become their own best teacher by getting them to understand the flight of the golf ball and how it relates to the swing, with emphasis on swinging the golf club on their own correct swing plane".
In 2008, Haney started working with former NBA star Charles Barkley on the Golf Channel's The Haney Project. In an attempt to fix Barkley's infamously bad swing. Haney was quoted as saying that "Charles' swing looked worse than Helen Keller trying to read." Haney's show continued in 2010, with comedian Ray Romano. The third season, in 2011, featured talk radio host Rush Limbaugh. (2012) featured a four-player shootout in Mario Batali, Adam Levine of Maroon 5, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Angie Everhart.
