In May 2010, Foley denied widely spread rumours that he was about to be hired as coach by Tiger Woods
On August 10, 2010, Foley helped Tiger Woods with his swing during a practice round at the PGA Championship and confirmed the possibility of working with Woods.
Foley is known for his scientific approach to golf swing. One of his trainees said:
Foley recommends setting up with about 55 % of the body weight on the left side (for righthanded golfers) and keeping it left during the whole swing until contact with the ball, when close to 80 % of the weight should be on the front foot. This is the same setup and weight shift instructors Mike Bennett and Andy Plummer prescribe.
