Tiger Woods told reporters in Abu Dhabi today that he was not happy with the decisions of a former caddy and swing coach to speak publicly about him.

"Certainly it's something I have to deal with," he said, according to The Associated Press.  "I get asked at press conferences what these guys have done and that's just part of it."

Hank Haney, Woods' swing coach for six years, is expected to release  a book in March titled "The Big Miss" about his time with the former No. 1 golfer in the world.

Haney and Woods went their separate ways in 2010, after Woods had returned to the sport amid a cheating scandal that ruined his marriage and good-boy image.

Last week, Woods told ESPN.com that the move was "unprofessional" although the swing coach reportedly had not been asked to sign a nondisclosure agreement.

In November, former caddy Steve Williams was criticized for what many called a racist comment at a caddie awards dinner.

In response to a question about a celebration with his current boss, golfer Adam Scott, Williams said, "It was my aim to shove it up that black arse--."

Williams, who'd worked for Woods for 12 years and 13 major championships, later apologized on his website.

Woods, who was in the United Arab Emirates for his first appearance at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, said that the two former staffers' actions had made it difficult for him to trust people.

"Am I disappointed? Yes," Woods said today. "Frustrated? Certainly. Because I have to answer the questions. … Hopefully this will end. I'm looking forward to getting out there and giving it a full season, which I haven't done in a while."

In December, he won his Chevron World Challenge for his first title in more than two years.
