ORLANDO, Florida (AFP) – Tiger Woods underwent sex addiction treatment during his five-month absence from golf, his former swing coach Hank Haney said in excerpts of a television interview released Saturday.

Haney also told The Golf Channel that he saw no hint of world number one Woods taking any sort of performance-enhancing drugs, including during sessions with controversial Canadian doctor Anthony Galea.

The revelations were shown in video clips posted on The Golf Channel website promoting a full interview with Haney to be aired Sunday night on the network.

Woods, whose admission of multiple mistresses shattered his world on and off the course, had never said he was receiving his therapy for sex addiction, although he had been photographed at a Mississippi clinic known for such treatment.

Asked why Woods spent six weeks in a treatment facility, Haney replied, “The only thing that I knew about was his issue with the sex addiction.”

“It’s an ongoing day-to-day battle, but so far I think he’s doing a really good job. He’s making progress,” Haney said. “Hopefully he’ll be able to do what he needs to do.”

Haney announced Monday that he was resigning as Woods’ swing coach and Woods said Tuesday the two had parted ways on good terms.

More than a dozen women have claimed to have had sexual affairs with Woods, a married father of two who returned to golf last month and shared fourth at the Masters.

But Woods missed the cut two weeks ago at Charlotte and withdrew from last week’s Players Championship after seven holes of the final round with an inflamed neck joint.

Reports have Woods and wife Elin set to divorce with the US tabloid National Enquirer, which broke the story of Woods’ first infidelity last November, saying Woods admitted in therapy to having been with as many as 120 women during their five years of marriage.

“The one (issue) he’s dealing with is not easy to overcome,” Haney said.

Federal investigators are looking into the activities of Galea for providing banned performance-enhancing substances to athletes.

Woods said he has never taken any banned substances and his dealings with Galea never involved doping or drugs, only a process known as blood spinning that Woods hoped might help him heal faster from a 2008 knee injury.

Haney backed up Woods, denials, saying that he saw no wrongdoing and he was at four of the five sessions Galea spent with Woods.

“There was never anything that went into Tiger Woods’ body that didn’t come out of his body,” Haney said. “I spent 110 days with Tiger a year for six years. I spent probably 40 to 50 nights a year at his house. I’ve never seen him do any (performance-enhancing drugs). He has never talked about anything.”

Exactly when Woods might return to competitive golf from his neck injury remains uncertain. He is entered in next month’s US Open at Pebble Beach, where he won by 15 strokes in 2000, and the PGA National in July.

“There’s a lot of things going on in my life, period, right now,” Woods said in a website posting. “I’m trying everything I can to get back as soon as I can, just trying to get everything in a harmonious spot and that’s not easy.”

Before the Masters started, Tiger Woods told us that he had changed. His outbursts would be quieted, his club tossing would be softened and he was going to be a different guy on the golf course.

No matter if you bought that or not, it’s true that the weekend brought out some of the old Tiger. He screamed “Tiger, you suck!,” only to follow that up with a profanity unlike any other in the third round. On Sunday on the 13th hole, Woods screamed “Jesus Christ!” after a tee shot and he wasn’t complimenting the man upstairs.

It wasn’t something new with Tiger, but it is something he told us would be avoiding in the future. Jim Nantz, the voice of CBS at the Masters, had a chance to talk with Mike Francesa of WFAN on Monday, and let it be known that he wasn’t happy with the way Woods acted.

“If I said what he said on the air, I would be fired. I read in the USA Today and it was called “mild language.” Someone on my broadcast dismissed it as him having a camera in his face. Well, guess what? Phil Mickelson had a camera in his face all week and did you even hear him come close to approaching that? He didn’t hit every shot the way he wanted. Have you ever heard Arnold Palmer or Jack Nicklaus use that kind of language? What are the parameters between what’s right or wrong?”

Nantz then admitted that this isn’t something that has disturbed him in the past, but the fact that Tiger promised us a change is why it rubbed him the wrong way. He mentioned that he doesn’t speak perfectly, but when the red light is on, he has things he cannot say.

He also said that there are people watching the telecast that shouldn’t be subjected to such profanities.

“How about the father and son who are standing right there by the tee? How about the hundreds of people who are around that tee who hear that? How about the hundreds of letters I’ve gotten through the years from people who have been outraged at the language they’ve heard there and have written me and said, ‘Why don’t you guys ever say something about that?’ “

Nantz obviously has some great points here. If you’re going to cuss when the cameras are rolling over a live broadcast, that is one thing, but when you tell us you won’t and still do it, it sure makes you look bad. Especially for a guy trying to bulldoze his past image.
