How they hell did Steve Williams (Tiger's caddie) get fired on his day off??

Thus is really the end of an era now...

I sure as hell hope Tiger knows what he's doing...

This will be interesting going forward... New swing, new mental state, and now new Caddie....

I think this is showing TW's true colors.

"Well, I think when you're great friends with somebody and a situation like this occurs, you obviously lose some kind of respect," Williams told CNN affiliate Mediaworks.

Williams was unhappy to have been dropped by Woods and felt the decision was scant reward for his loyal service.

"I've stuck by him through and through," Williams told 3 News. "Now he decides things aren't going well for him, and I'm down the road, so the timing's very disappointing."

He suggested that Woods would need to work hard to rebuild their friendship.

Williams first acknowledged the split on his website and announced he will become the full-time caddie for Australian Adam Scott, whose bag he carried at the US Open.

"Following the completion of the AT&T National, I am no longer caddying for Tiger after he informed me that he needed to make a change," the statement read.

Williams added, "After 13 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."

Yeah, I'd say successful. $90m in 13 years.

Reading between the lines, apparently Steve's wife and Tiger's ex-wife are really good friends. I can see how that would be awkward and it isn't always easy to separate work and play. Anyone that is close with another couple and they later divorce can understand. You always try and not take sides, but there are always awkward situations and you can't have that in a sport like golf that is so mental.

I am sure the media will blow it out of proportion, but according the the reports, Williams and Tiger met two weeks earlier and agreed to keep it quiet until after the British Open. They didn't want the circus to be a distraction for Adam Scott.

This makes most sense.

There is no one in this world that Tiger truly cares for but Tiger. He's a complete narcissist and this didn't surprise me at all. Probably a good thing for Steve, now at least he'll have a chance to earn some money.

u got that right!!

Makes the only sense in my opinion. No doubt Tiger and Steve are great friends. Imagine if you are Steve and your boss was the one that destroyed the life of your wife's good friend. How do you show up on Monday to carry Tiger's bag after hanging out with his ex-wife the previous weekend. Do you quit being friends with the ex-wife because your boss ruined her life? Steve would proably have chosen that option, but I can promise you his wife is on the other side. Regardless, makes for a very very stickey situation and I don't blame Tiger for wanting to dissassociate from that. People that are married or have been married will completely understand.

I think the reason Tiger didn't do this 18 months ago is because he is tight with Steve and tried to work through it. It is a business and Tiger made a decision that is best for him. I don't see it as selfish at all. Probably necessary at this point. If Tiger associates Steve with his ex-wife that is not a good thing.

This is simply what happens when you mix business and pleasure. Anyone that has married friends that get divorced can totally relate. Now add the fact that your friend is also your boss. I can't imagine a more awkward situation. It sucks, but it is what it is.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      I enjoy being truthful. Although that means being unbiased. Which most on here are incapable of being unbiased.

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
