It's been two tough years for Williams given the problems Tiger has had on and off the course.  I'm not sure how Williams gets paid if Tiger doesn't play.  I'm guessing he gets a base salary, but he's not getting any bonus money for tournament wins right now.  They've been together a long time, so until it's confirmed from a reliable source I doubt it's true.

Obviously?

I do care, yes, when it comes to Stevie and Tiger because Stevie is perhaps the best caddie out there on tour. Give Tiger an average caddy, and he may miss a few shots here and there due to yardage miscalculations.

As for these "rumors", I'm definitely not believing them until there is a source. Stevie is one of Tiger's best friends and if he didn't leave him after the huge sex scandal, he's not going to leave him now. He knows Tiger will be coming back soon and he wants to be with Tiger when (if) he wins those 18th and 19th majors.

Fanny will always be the best caddie on tour

It also appears to me that the Steve/Tiger combo has either gone a bit stale or the friendship is not what it used to be, judging from their interactions on the course in recent years. Just something I personally picked up on.

Don't know what you're talking about. The only thing you might be seeing is the dullness because he hasn't been playing very well. I watch every minute of every golf tournament he plays in, and their relationship hasn't gone a bit stale at all. They communicate as good as ever and are still really good friends, as Tiger said just a few months ago on Jimmy Fallon.

It all comes down to money, when Tiger wins they both make big bucks.  When Tiger doesn't play, he still has huge endorsement deals to pay the bills with but not sure how Steve is compensated.  Steve and Tiger have been happy together because they made a lot of money together, we'll see how strong the friendship is if Tiger isn't able to come back this season.

Don't have him blocked anymore. And even when I did, I could still click on "View" to see his post. Blocking doesn't do much on this site.

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
