LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Former NBA star Charles Barkley could be getting some golfing tips via a project in development at Golf Channel.

A network representative confirmed that the channel is developing a project eyed for 2009 that would feature famed golf instructor Hank Haney, who has coached Tiger Woods on his swing, giving the TNT basketball analyst tips on his own golf game. Further details were not available.

Haney also will be featured in Golf Channel's new reality series "School of Golf: Hilton Head Island," premiering September 2.
