Butch Harmon hits out at "arrogant" PGA Tour | bunkered.co.uk
Tiger Woods' former coach Butch Harmon has blasted the PGA Tour for not doing more to avoid the civil war that has fractured men's golf.
www.bunkered.co.ukButch Harmon’s coaching role has shifted over the years, with him stepping back from full-time tour coaching and often working in a more limited or advisory capacity. As of the latest coverage, he has worked with high-profile players in various arrangements and his role has generally been described as less hands-on on tour than in his peak years. For the most current, specific roster of players he’s coaching or advising today, I can check the latest golf news sources if you’d like.
If you want a quick reference point, here are a few notable points from recent coverage:
- He has historically coached top players including Tiger Woods (1993–2004) and Rickie Fowler, and his son Claude Harmon has also coached several players and sometimes collaborates with him on certain clients.[1][3]
- In recent years, there have been reports of Harmon still being active in some coaching roles or collaborations, but not always in a full-time, on-tour capacity (examples include discussions around his ongoing influence and occasional team-ups with players like Rory McIlroy in various capacities).[2][8]
- There have been periodic media pieces and podcasts highlighting his continued impact on golfers, even if not in a traditional full-time swing-coach role.[5][9]
