Former Tiger Woods coach Hank Haney hit back at the golfer with a scathing joke about his sex scandal following his own media storm of accusations of sexism and racism.

Hank Haney, who shaped Woods' swing from 2004 to 2010, was suspended from her own radio show after making fun of the fact that many top female golfers are Korean.

When asked who he thinks would win the recent US Women's Open, Haney replied: “I'll predict a Korean. I'd say Lee, if I didn't have to give a first name. I would have a bunch of them right. "

“Aren't there a lot of girls on the LPGA Tour with the same name, right? "

Golfer Michelle Wie attacked 63-year-old American Haney, saying: "These comments disappoint and anger me on so many different points. "

"Racism and sexism don't make you laugh, Hank… shame on you." "

And the Woods Masters champion said: “You can't think of life like that. He obviously said what he wanted to say and he got what he deserved. "

"Shame on you Hank Haney"

But now Haney, who visited Woods' house and toured the world with him at the height of his infidelity, but has denied ever knowing it, has made a comeback.

Referring to dozens of businesses who saw her image shattered and ended her marriage to model Elin Nordegren, Haney tweeted: “Amazing how @tigerwoods has become the moral authority on issues relating to women. "

“I spent six years training Tiger, and not once has he heard me say a single sexist or racist word. "

Haney - who had great fun having his prediction validated after Jeougean Lee6 won the top prize in Charleston - said on Twitter: "Now besides being a 15-time Major champion, I guess he also reads minds?" #glasshouses. "

The relationship between Woods and Haney was destroyed when the coach published his book in 2012 in which he told all about Woods' coaching.

Nordegren walked away with 83 million euros after their divorce in 2010.

Woods then dated skier Lindsey Vonn before falling in love with Erica Herman, who was by his side when he won the Masters in April.
