Steve Williams breaks his silence: The call that ended his relationship with Tiger Woods

In 2011, Steve Williams and Tiger Woods were at the center of one of the most talked-about breakups in the golf world. For years, Williams had been Woods’ caddie, but everything changed when Woods decided not to allow his caddie to accompany him while recovering from an injury. Instead, Williams agreed to caddie for Adam Scott at the US Open, which sparked growing tension between the two.

Now, with time passing, Williams reflects on that pivotal moment and admits that, in hindsight, he should have taken a different path. As Williams said in a recent episode of Don Harvey’s YouTube channel: “My wife said, ‘No, if Tiger doesn’t want you to caddy, don’t do it,’ and I should have listened.”

How the friendship between Williams and Woods broke down?

The incident took place when Williams traveled to the US Open with the intention of caddying for Tiger Woods, who, due to an injury, would not be participating in the tournament. Upon arriving in Los Angeles, Williams found out that Woods would not be playing and, to everyone’s surprise, Adam Scott asked him to caddy for him instead. “I had left here on a Saturday with the intention that Tiger was playing in the tournament… and when I arrived there, I found out that he wasn’t going to play,” Williams recalled. However, the situation became complicated when Woods’ representative called to express Woods’ preference that Williams not caddy for Scott.

Looking back, Williams regrets not following his wife’s advice. “I’d probably still be caddying for Tiger today,” he confessed, pointing out that if he had followed his intuition, things might have turned out differently. Despite their split, Williams continues to recognize the qualities that made Woods one of the greatest golfers in history. His dedication to golf is something Williams still deeply respects.

Despite their separation, Williams still praises Woods’ determination, which has remained strong throughout the years. “Tiger had a goal, and that was obviously to surpass Jack Nicklaus’ 18 majors, and he was never going to stop working hard, even to this day, even as we speak,” Williams stated in a recent episode of Dom Harvey’s YouTube channel.

Davis wrong to box Paul? ‘No fighter would turn it down’

The boxing world is coming to terms with Gervonta Davis boxing Jake Paul in an exhibition later this year.Paul entered professional boxing with a vast following on social media. Still essentially a novice pro, he might have lost to Tommy Fury but has beaten big-name MMA fighters in boxing, outpointed a 58-year-old Mike Tyson and most recently defeated a former world champion in Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. However when he meets Davis in November he'll be boxing a current world champion who's 30 years old. The complication is that Davis is a lightweight, and Paul boxes at cruiserweight and above.That is a significant difference. Paul is about six foot one inch tall and around 200lbs, Davis just over five foot five and he boxes at 135lbs. Spreaker This content is provided by Spreaker, which may be using cookies and other […]
