Based on his recent interview where he says his job is safe, it is now almost certain he and Tiger will part ways. Just MHO but this kind of thing is the kiss of death (especially with Tiger).

I am not a "Stevie" fan or really even a Tiger fan but I do hope Tiger gets his act together, with or without William on the bag.

What part of the interview do you base this on?

What is "this kind of thing?" and why would it help Tiger to get a new caddie?

I really doubt Steve will go. Why?

He has had him for so long and won so many tournaments with him.....and they know each other so well, it would be a mistake.

I hope he doesn't get rid of Stevie. Swearing at spectators and occasionally threatening them is more charming with that accent.

Yeah, he's so cute when he's smashing cameras.

Steve has stayed very quiet and loyal throughout this ordeal. These qualities are probably very important to Tiger.

Doesn't Williams get a fixed salary? I read somewhere it was around a million. If that's true, he almost outearned his boss this season on winnings alone.

He likely gets a percentage of earnings, perhaps a fixed salary too. Last i read a tour caddie usually gets around 10% of his players earnings.

This "kind of thing" is talking about Tiger's business publicly.

I don't think anyone can appreciate how much Tiger values him keeping his mouth shut about the Vegas trips etc.. The guy can write a book ro do one interview and stoke the fire again and get some short money. He's smart and he's in it for the long haul.
Here's something I always wondered. Do the caddies get part of the sponsorship $$? I mean I see everyones caddy wearing the same sponsors as the golfer. Do they get their own deal or a percentage of that or what?

Stevie didn't go on the vegas trips. When he isn't caddying. he's in New Zealand.

I think Caddy's normally do not get endorsement deals. I think Williams actually did get one because he's on TV so much caddying for Tiger. I could be wrong, but I thought i read somewhere that Williams has an endorsement deal wit Nike and thought it was hilarious.

Williams has a an endorsement deal with Valvoline.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Good point. Caddies are there to "show up, keep up and shut up". I guess they should also be there to "pipe up if you're in a bunker on the 18th hole of a major".

Steve Williams will be Tiger's caddy as long as he toes the line. If he slips up, he's out of there. Remember when Fluff was Tiger's caddy?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
