This might be our last chance to use that picture of the awkward high-five between Tiger Woods and FORMER caddy Steve Williams. Per the AP: Tiger Woods fired caddie Steve Williams on Wednesday, ending a 12-year relationship in which he won 72 times worldwide and 13 majors.
"I want to express my deepest gratitude to Stevie for all his help, but I think it's time for a change," Woods said on his website. "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."
Woods did not say who would replace Williams, or when he would return to golf.
Williams, who previously worked for Raymond Floyd and Greg Norman, had worked the last three tournaments with Adam Scott. That included the last two majors, which Woods skipped while trying to recover from injuries to his left leg.
When asked over the weekend at the British Open if he was still working for Woods, Williams grinned and said, "Why would you ask a question like that?" He never answered the question but gave no indication that he would not caddie for Woods when he did return.
All of this raises an important question: Is your preferred spelling "caddie" or "caddy?" Because we've been on the fence about it for years. AP clearly has its style (caddie). But the movie is "Caddyshack."
