Steve William spent years caddying for the golfing legend Tiger Woods. Although the two had split over reasons unknown, the caddie still remembers his days with the 15-time major champion. And he had once shared what habit of the golfer irked him the most! 

“One thing that really p***ed me off was how he would flippantly toss a club in the general direction of the bag,” Williams revealed. “Expecting me to go over and pick it up.” The New Zealander disclosed the golfer’s habit that annoyed him while he worked with him in his book ‘Out of the Rough.’

Notably, Tiger Woods was once fined and heavily criticized for spitting on a golf course during a DP World Tour event. However, he didn’t spit in the hole like Williams suggested; the World Golf Hall of Famer did it on the green.
