Woods then lost in the first round at the World Golf Championships Match Play event in Arizona two weeks ago.
As Woods spoke about needing to get more tournaments under his belt, he was asked why does he not play more often.
"Because I have a family," he said. "I'm divorced. If you've been divorced with kids, you would understand."
Left unsaid was that Woods has never played more than a sparse schedule since turning professional in 1996.
If Woods' comments on Wednesday were somewhat predictable, the same cannot be said of his current instructor, Sean Foley, and his previous coach, Hank Haney.
In an interview with Canadagolf, Foley took aim at the critics who have been questioning Woods' swing changes.
"So he's struggling when he's in the hunt," Foley said. "And they say, 'How does Tiger Woods struggle when he's in the hunt? Look at what he did for so long?'
"New days. New times," Foley said. "You're absolutely probably an invalid if you don't think what he went through hasn't affected his belief system."
Haney subsequently weighed in, via Twitter, where he wrote: "Maybe Foley should stop talking until Tiger wins 6 more majors under him!"
