Basically as the title says why did Tiger sack Butch Harmon. I first started watchin golf properly when Tiger was winning everything in 2000 or so and everything he hit was good and then he sacks Butch Harmon who always seems to talk alot of sense and his coaching of a lot of top players suggests he is a very good cotach so i just don understand why??
 
The first rule of Tiger Club is you don't talk about Tiger Club

Seems anyone who Tiger thinks talks too much gets the boot - Fluff Cowan, Biutch Harmon, Steve Williams etc
 
Harmon was asked during the commentary on Thursday would he and Woods get back together and he said it would never happen "too much has happened which we won't go into". Sounds like a major behind the scenes bust up and probably Harmon's reaction to Tiger's behaviour off course although we'll probably never know the real reason
 
It seems to me like some of the comments made by both Butch and Steve reveal that both of these men we forced into corners during their time working with Tiger as a consequence of Tiger's off course indiscretions.

It also appears to have led to a pretty major falling out between them to a level where I suspect neither will work with Tiger again (unless he eats a lot of humble pie).
 
We will never know. I've never heard either of them speak or preach about Tigers off course activities, probably because they turned a blind eye as he was making them millions at the time !!!!
