Was Steve Williams stealing boxes??

[TruCatzFan]

How they hell did Steve Williams (Tiger's caddie) get fired on his day off??

Thus is really the end of an era now...

I sure as hell hope Tiger knows what he's doing...

This will be interesting going forward... New swing, new mental state, and now new Caddie....

I think this is showing TW's true colors.

"Well, I think when you're great friends with somebody and a situation like this occurs, you obviously lose some kind of respect," Williams told CNN affiliate Mediaworks.

Williams was unhappy to have been dropped by Woods and felt the decision was scant reward for his loyal service.

"I've stuck by him through and through," Williams told 3 News. "Now he decides things aren't going well for him, and I'm down the road, so the timing's very disappointing."

He suggested that Woods would need to work hard to rebuild their friendship.

Williams first acknowledged the split on his website and announced he will become the full-time caddie for Australian Adam Scott, whose bag he carried at the US Open.

"Following the completion of the AT&T National, I am no longer caddying for Tiger after he informed me that he needed to make a change," the statement read.

Williams added, "After 13 years of loyal service needless to say this came as a shock. Given the circumstances of the past 18 months working through Tiger's scandal, a new coach and with it a major swing change and Tiger battling through injuries I am very disappointed to end our very successful partnership at this time."

Yeah, I'd say successful. $90m in 13 years.

Reading between the lines, apparently Steve's wife and Tiger's ex-wife are really good friends. I can see how that would be awkward and it isn't always easy to separate work and play. Anyone that is close with another couple and they later divorce can understand. You always try and not take sides, but there are always awkward situations and you can't have that in a sport like golf that is so mental.

I am sure the media will blow it out of proportion, but according the the reports, Williams and Tiger met two weeks earlier and agreed to keep it quiet until after the British Open. They didn't want the circus to be a distraction for Adam Scott.

So...why didn't he dump him 18 months ago?

Tiger Woods is one I guy who I'll never understand. He's a phenomenal golfer, but its just something about him that makes him so robotic. Wasn't Steve the best man at his wedding?

[JoCoLoco]

There is no one in this world that Tiger truly cares for but Tiger. He's a complete narcissist and this didn't surprise me at all. Probably a good thing for Steve, now at least he'll have a chance to earn some money.

[Doyle]

Yeah its the caddies fault Tiger.

This makes most sense.

u got that right!!

This makes most sense.

Makes the only sense in my opinion. No doubt Tiger and Steve are great friends. Imagine if you are Steve and your boss was the one that destroyed the life of your wife's good friend. How do you show up on Monday to carry Tiger's bag after hanging out with his ex-wife the previous weekend. Do you quit being friends with the ex-wife because your boss ruined her life? Steve would proably have chosen that option, but I can promise you his wife is on the other side. Regardless, makes for a very very stickey situation and I don't blame Tiger for wanting to dissassociate from that. People that are married or have been married will completely understand.

I think the reason Tiger didn't do this 18 months ago is because he is tight with Steve and tried to work through it. It is a business and Tiger made a decision that is best for him. I don't see it as selfish at all. Probably necessary at this point. If Tiger associates Steve with his ex-wife that is not a good thing.

Stevie is the richest caddie Of All Time because if Tiger... Gtf outta here if u really believe that Steve is gonna make anything close to what he made with Adam Scott!!!

ROtFLMAO!!!

Why is it such an issue that Tiger is getting a new caddie when other golfers go through caddies like tissue paper.

Some golfers will have as many as 4-5 different caddies in a year.

I'm shocked to say that I agree with you 100%

This is simply what happens when you mix business and pleasure. Anyone that has married friends that get divorced can totally relate. Now add the fact that your friend is also your boss. I can't imagine a more awkward situation. It sucks, but it is what it is.
