A caddie plays a crucial role in a golfer’s life by providing expert advice and support during a round of golf. They also serve as a sounding board for golfers and can help to keep them focused and motivated during a round. Successful golfers always have successful caddies behind them.

The player-caddie relationship between Tiger Woods and Steve Williams started in 1999 and came to an end in 2011. Woods announced the end of their relationship on his website in 2011, leaving Williams stunned. According to an article by ESPN, Woods wrote on his website, “I want to express my deepest gratitude to Stevie for all his help, but I think it’s time for a change.” He further wrote, “Stevie is an outstanding caddie and a friend and has been instrumental in many of my accomplishments. I wish him great success in the future.”

The duo had won 72 times worldwide and had 13 majors in their bag. Post-revelation, Woods thanked Williams for all his help. Although the whole situation dawned upon their fans, he had known it for two weeks prior to the announcement and kept quiet out of respect for Scott.

More than a player-caddie relationship, they shared a friendship, but despite that, Williams went months without hearing anything from him after the scandal. Their wives were really close friends, so it became awkward between them. Post-scandal, the difference in their relationships was evident on the course. Williams had predicted that their relationship was sinking and becoming stale.

After Woods’ car crash on Thanksgiving night, that revealed his serial adultery, leading to a massive scandal and his divorce. Their relationship began to show signs of strain. Despite his disappointment with Tiger’s decision, Williams said that Woods is a great player, and he wishes him all the best in the future. Williams also said that he has no problem being fired and that he understands the business. The true reason for their split is still unknown and must be anticipated by both parties. Steve is currently working with Adam Scott.
