Despite various speculations about him and his life at the time, only a few were close to Woods. And among his nearest and dearest was his former caddie and longtime friend Steve Williams.

“His problem was obvious: he wasn’t as mentally sharp as he used to be,” he wrote. “The dismantling of his life in public was now affecting him quite badly – he still had the determination but he didn’t have the patience and focus required to win.”

Williams also stated that Woods’ “top-20 finish at the Memorial Tournament” gave the world hope that the golfer was back in form. However, his performance at the US Open was enough to see how his game was not the same anymore. “He couldn’t hit that clutch shot or make that vital putt that had previously defined his career,” Williams added. “He was simply un-Tiger-like”

Each Woods fan knows how his relationship with his ex-wife came to an end. And his fans saw him suffer for a long time before he finally made his return after a break.
