Wow, wow. Big news.

Had a feeling that the Adam Scott thing was more than just a temp gig like they said it was.

I need a caddy for my club tourney next month. I'd be willing to give him all of the pro shop money and not just 10%.

I wouldnt say this comes as much of a shock. I wonder if it was actually Tiger that called it a day or it was Williams that said bye bye to Tiger.

sad to say that my reaction was "wow!!!". i think i need to balance things out in my life a little

i think tiger is steadily moving in the wrong direction. beg butch harman to take him back or hire one of his brothers (or similar style guy)

I wondered the same when Stevie was carrying for Scott. Life is short and enjoying your job is a big part of success. If I'm Stevie, life would be more fun at this point taking on a new challenge than riding Tiger, his injuries, and his dark cloud on the way down.

Williams:

Quote:

He said: "After years of loyal service needless to say this came as a shock.

"Given the circumstances of the past 18 months working through Tiger's scandal, a new coach and with it a major swing change and Tiger battling through injuries, I am very disappointed to end our very successful partnership at this time.

I wonder how this played out. Specifically, I wonder if there's a "severance package" with a confidentiality clause. He's been with him so long, Stevie could write a book and make millions.

I'm sure there is some type of silence fee.

Would be amazing if Stevie was tilted and just went on a rant about all of Tiger's sex parties, steroid-use, and other gems.

Unlikely though, unfortunately.

Joe LaCava will be the first choice. Now whether or not he would leave DJ is another matter.

Or Tiger could simply go with a buddy like Byron Bell.

I guess there will be no more tag teaming skanks while they high five each other for these two.

Me too. Just didn't make sense.

I think Tiger is done too, but we shall see.

Can't say im surprised, probably a good move for both. No doubt it will make the headlines and be made a much bigger deal of than it really is.

Im guessing he is close to a return though, pretty sure he will be in the field for the PGA next month.
