Chris Como

Tiger Woods splits from coach

The 41-year-old Woods, who has won 14 majors but none since 2008, is on the comeback trail after a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to injury.

He hired Como, an expert in biomechanics, in 2014, but has now decided to go it alone as he continues his recovery from a fourth back operation.

Woods said: "Since my fusion surgery I have been working hard to relearn my own body and golf swing.

"I have done this by primarily relying on my feel and previous years of hard work with Chris. For now, I think it's best for me to continue to do this on my own.
