Tiger Woods has split with his swing coach Sean Foley after a miserable year beset by injuries and a winless run in major championships that now stretches back to the 2008 US Open. The 38-year-old superstar has worked with Foley since 2010 but won no major titles under his tutelage, compared with a combined 14 under his previous two coaches Butch Harmon and Hank Haney. After seeming destined to overhaul Jack Nicklaus's all-time record of 18 majors, Woods has not won one of golf's four big titles for six years while struggling to deal with a catalogue of serious injuries. Woods has worked with Foley in a continued attempt to put less stress on his notoriously damaged left knee but back problems have become his main concern.
