Who's This Caddie? - Chris "Preach" Smith

Stevie Williams made a new name for caddies yesterday.

A bad one.

Regardless of however you feel about Tiger Woods, his former caddie
Williams comes off as the bigger jerk after his comments yesterday
after Adam Scott won the WGC Bridgestone Invitational. 'The biggest
win of his life?' Really? I guess 13 major victories carrying Tiger's bags
doesn't count now, but here's a memo to Williams. YOU'RE A CADDIE.
FALL BACK.

This is all in response to Williams' firing by Tiger a couple of weeks ago.
I didn't mind him initially saying he was hurt by it, but two things cut
my sympathy for him short. The first thing is, it occurred after Williams
decided to ask for permission to caddie for Scott. Tiger consented and
then let Willaims go. We don't really know the relationship between
these two. Both men have their huge egos. Stevie has been notorious
for being rude, arrogant and physically confrontational at times with
both the fans and the press. Another thing is, Williams got really petty
after the firing. People get fired every day. It's a sad fact of life. But
you don't go and claim you lost respect for your boss over his misdeeds
when you probably didn't have the onions to tell him to his face. And
you don't follow that up with a veiled remark about disclosing all in a
book down the line. That's lawsuit language right there mate.


Williams stole the show yesterday, and had people chanting his name.
What a crock. He's not a victim, as some in the media would have you
believe for the sake of good copy. He's a publicity hound now. Williams
would have you believe he had it rough, but he's a multi-millionaire.
"60 Minutes" did a story on him at his farm in New Zealand. The man
has bank, people. He eats real well off of his run with Woods. You want
to know how much he made off the win with Scott? Less than $70,000.
I hope that now whatever celebrity he thinks he has is as minute as a
mosquito's member. And that all of the Tiger-haters who support him
can be ashamed of themselves. Stevie Williams needs to do what a
caddie does best...carry the bags, and be as quiet as possible.
