Tiger Woods: 4 Figures He Needs in His Life to Succeed Again

Tiger Woods hasn't had the time of his life in the past two years. The former World No.1 is in need of a victory, and that could certainly be an easier task to accomplish if he had several people around.

After a lot of controversies, he has decided to fire some people, while others have left him against his will. But in the end, the reason is the least important.

If Woods had the power to bring them back, he might have a big shot to succeed.

Hank Haney

Tiger worked with Hank Haney from March 2004 to May 2010. In their six-year relationship, Woods won 31 PGA titles, including six majors, as well as two Japan Golf Tour events, one in the European Tour and another in the PGA Tour of Australia, for a total 35 official trophies.

With Haney, Woods had a 57.79 driving accuracy percentage, with 2009 being his most successful year (64.29 percent) and 2010 the worst (51.19 percent).

This year, under Sean Foley's direction, Tiger has a 48.90 driving accuracy percentage.

Steve Williams

One of the most shocking changes Woods has made in the past year is firing Stevie.

In 1999, Tiger dropped Mike Fluff Cowan and started a 12-year relationship with New Zealander Steve Williams, who had previously caddied for Peter Thomson, Greg Norman and Raymond Floyd.

Woods and Williams went to have a solid friendship off the course, which included appearances in weddings and charity events.

Tiger won 65 PGA titles with Williams in the bag, including 13 major championships. Now with LaCava as his looper, things haven't been great, although he's an experienced caddie, having worked with Fred Couples and Dustin Johnson.

Elin Nordegren

If there was someone Tiger trusted, it was his ex-wife, Elin.

After meeting in Jesper Parnevik's home, Woods and Nordegren got engaged in 2003 and married a year later in Barbados.

During their six-year marriage, Elin never took the spotlight and just made official appearances at major championships and at the Ryder Cup.

Nordegren and Woods enjoyed their private life, which was not only sacred, but also gave Tiger peace of mind and a place where he could forget about golf and fame and just be a husband and father.

After the divorce and all the scandals surrounding his life, Woods has become the center of scrutiny, which, of course, has had quite impact in his mentality.

Earl Woods

He's by far the biggest figure Tiger needs right now. Tiger's idol, mentor and confidant was his father; having him around was always comforting.

Earl and Tiger established the Tiger Woods Foundation, seeking to help children by teaching them golf and granting them scholarships.

When he died in 2006, Tiger took nine weeks off to spend time with his family. When he returned, he missed the cut at that year's U.S. Open, but went to win The Open Championship and burst into tears as he pointed to the sky.

If there's someone who could give Tiger a hand in these times of need, that would be Earl.
