Golf caddie reveals exactly why Tiger Woods fired him: ‘I didn’t see the big deal about it…’

Steve Williams reveals how Tiger Woods fired him as his caddie at the 2011 U.S. Open, despite having agreed for him to join Adam Scott’s bag for a week.

Steve Williams has revealed exactly how Tiger Woods fired him during the 2011 U.S. Open after appearing on The Dom Harvey Podcast.

Williams had worked alongside Woods from 1999 to 2011, helping the former World No.1 win 13 of his 15 career major titles.

While Williams and Woods are still apparent good mates, their relationship deteriorated at the end of their working relationship.

It turned sour at the 2011 U.S. Open at Congressional when Woods decided to withdraw from the tournament due to a knee injury.

Adam Scott called up Williams to see if Woods would let him caddie for him instead – just for that week.

Woods initially gave his blessing but then soon changed his mind, and that is where things did not sit right with Williams.

“So when Tiger came back he was having some injury problems and so forth,” Williams told podcast host Dom Harvey.

“Tiger was due to play in the U.S. Open at Congressional. I’d left New Zealand here and I had my father in law with me and I had another mate with me, and we were all going to that tournament.

“Tiger hadn’t played in a few weeks but he was adamant he was going to play in that tournament, so great.

“Then he announced on that Friday that he wasn’t going to play in that tournament.

“We had already left New Zealand to head to the tournament and it just happened to be that Adam Scott called me.

“He said ‘I see Tiger’s pulled out of the tournament, any chance you could caddie for me?’

“I said ‘Yeah I think that should be alright’. I then rang Tiger and he said ‘Yeah no problem’.

“So that was all good.

“Then we fly to America and then we were going onwards to Washington to Congressional.

“But then Tiger changed his mind.

“We had already got there and I had my father in law and my friend as I say with me. I had already said yes to Adam and I thought to myself ‘I dunno what’s the big deal, I’m going to caddie for the guy’. I didn’t see the big deal about it. And yeah, so I caddie for him [Scott] and that was the end of the story,

“Tiger for one reason or another, he told me yes then disapproved it. He basically said to me well if you go ahead and do it then I’ll fire you. I thought he was joking. It got me by surprise. I had supported him and feel like I had done a great job for him and had done everything he had ever asked of me.”

A week later, Williams saw Woods in person to formally terminate their partnership together.

After leaving Woods’ bag, Williams caddied full time for Scott.

Williams – who is now retired – caddied for a number of other golf greats during his career including Greg Norman and Ray Floyd.

Woods’ current caddie is Lance Bennett.
