This news comes a week after Tiger was unable to participate in this years British Open which Darren Clark won so impressively last weekend due to injury, Williams has been working alongside Adam Scott in Tiger’s absence and Williams has announced that this relationship will become permanent.
In response to the news Williams revealed that the decision from Tiger had came as a total shock and expressed his disappointment in the premature end to their partnership. Williams acted as a caddie for Wood’s during 13 of his 14 Major Championship wins after teaming up with Tiger in 1999, due to this successful partnership Williams had gained a share of a proportion of Tigers Winnings which at one point had made him on of the highest earning sporting individuals from New Zealand. One thing is for sure it will be interesting to see if his new partner the Australian Adam Scott will be benefit from this great caddies knowledge, Tiger’s loss is certainly Scott’s gain.
