Tiger Woods Says Hank Haney 'Got What He Deserved' with Sirius Radio Suspension

Tiger Woods believes Hank Haney's suspension for making racist and sexist comments about LPGA Tour players on the SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio channel this week was fair.

After completing his second round at The Memorial, Woods was asked about what his former swing coach said. 

"Just can't look at life like that," Woods told reporters. "And he obviously said what he meant, and he got what he deserved."

Haney made the comments Wednesday when asked to predict the winner of the U.S. Women's Open this weekend:

LPGA star Michelle Wie was among the people who caught wind of Haney's comments, and she responded on Twitter:

The PGA Tour and SiriusXM announced Thursday that Haney has been suspended and his status with the radio company is being evaluated:

"Mr. Haney's comments on women's professional golf were insensitive and do not represent the views of the PGA TOUR or SiriusXM. The PGA TOUR is committed to and proud of the increasingly diverse makeup of our fan base, not to mention the power and accomplishments of the game's world-class, global players - both on the PGA TOUR and LPGA, whom we are working with more closely than ever before.

"SiriusXM proudly covers and supports both women's and men's golf and the athletes that make them great. At the PGA TOUR's instruction Mr. Haney has been suspended from the SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio channel.  SiriusXM is reviewing his status on SiriusXM going forward."

Haney gained fame for his work with Woods from 2004-10. Woods won six of his 15 career major titles during that six-year period. 

In addition to working with Woods, Haney's official website notes he's instructed more than 200 PGA Tour professionals and hosted The Haney Project which saw him work with athletes and celebrities like Charles Barkley and Ray Romano.
