Tiger Woods has used his first formal press conference of 2012 to again slam former coach, Hank Haney.

Woods was quick to first express disappointment with Haney via the 14-time Major winner’s website  – www.tigerwoods.com – after revelations in Haney’s book ‘ The Big Miss’.

Haney split with Woods in May 2010 and since August that same year has been working with Sean Foley.

And Haney’s remarks in print came just soon after the controversial remarks of former caddy, Steve Williams.

“It’s something that I have had to deal with,” said Woods on arrival in Abu Dhabi for this week’s Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.

“I get asked at press conferences what these guys have done, and that’s just part of it.

“Am I disappointed?  Yes. Frustrated?  Certainly, because I have to answer the questions.  And it’s not …. It’s been a while, you know, since I haven’t had to answer those questions.

“So I’ve answered them and I guess I’ll have to continue doing it.

“Hopefully they won’t and this well come to an end.”
