Hank Haney, Tiger Woods' swing coach during a six-year stretch in which he won six majors, apparently saw Monday's cringe-worthy video of Woods dumping three balls into the water trying to hit a green from 102 yards.

On Tuesday, Haney was blunt in his assessment on SiriusXM's PGA Tour Radio (via CBS Sports): "It just looks to me like it's going to be a while and maybe next year because there's nothing that we're hearing that tells us that Tiger is anywhere near ready to come back. The chance that he has to play great is better if he starts off next year and really gives himself plenty of time to just heal, to get his game going, and then take a run at it next year if he's ready to do that.
