According to Steve Williams’ famous book ‘Out of the Rough’, he was completely unaware of what Woods did in his personal life away from home. He mentioned how he thought going to the gym was Woods’ only escape from the public’s eye. However, as things turned out later, he figured he was wrong.

“When you live so intensely in the public eye, you surely have to have something else away from the spotlight that gives you pleasure – and it turns out I was wrong about the gym,” he mentioned on page 194. But after he discovered details about Woods’ personal life adventures, he was shocked about not knowing an inch of it. “How could I spend so much time with him and not have an inkling this was going on?” he wrote.

But the fact that Nordegren had no idea about it too, showed how well the golfer had reportedly concealed the truth. Although he stated that some of Woods’ old buddies knew about it, Williams still had no idea. “I didn’t know because Tiger didn’t dare tell me,” he said. And according to him, it was because of the bond he shared with the golf legend.
