He really showed Tiger, huh? I mean, a victory in the ... I'm sorry what major was it he just won?

Tiger did fine this weekend.
Made a enough money to substantiate things while he continues trying to climb back nearer to the top.

AP Headline is:

Scott Wins 1st World Title, With Woods' Caddie

I know what the tournament's name is, does anyone consider this a "World Title"?

This is simply the latest in a long, long line of ironies through the years in the wide world of sports.

Falls under the World Golf Championships umbrella, a group of tournaments just below the majors (though the TPC isn't wrapped into it). It's a decent tournament, prestige-wise.

 

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

I could never had envisioned a reason to feel happy for Steve Williams, but I am.
Suck it Tiger.

Steve Williams doesn't do too much for me, either.

Yeah .. it's like choosing between Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan ..

BTW: Wasn't Tiger in Stevie's wedding? Maybe even best man? .. And Stevie was NOT in Tiger's wedding?

Insufferable prick one-ups other insufferable prick.

Williams is an asshole through and through. WTF did he do to win the tournament? Wear the right shorts?

Can someone explain to me how a bag carrier became a tough guy?

 

[TwoGloves]

It was HIS best week. It was HIS 145th win. It was HIS ... ball-striking that won? Uh, no douche bag. As the old saying goes, "Show up, keep up, shut up."

He didn't hit the shots. But it's not true to say he's a complete non-factor. On Saturday, Scott was about to tee off on a par-3 and Williams stepped in to offer another club. They switched and Scott ended up flag-high. Not every caddie has the credibility to do that.

Obviously this is getting way overplayed (there's another sign of how big Tiger is, for those who still think he's not a story anymore), but there's unquestionably a dynamic between caddies and players. Scott said in his winner's press conference that Williams was valuable for his Firestone yardage book and putting notes, since he's seen it all at that course.

Contrast that this week to Tiger, who had a schoolyard buddy on the bag. You think that guy was offering anything outside club-cleaning service? With Tiger's game these days, he could really use a veteran caddie who's not afraid to speak up. If his ego would allow it.

Since Tiger's caddie this weekend is also the guy who was named by Rachel Uchitel as the one who made the arrangements for her to have her trysts with Tiger - - and that report has not been denied anywhere that I have seen - - did anyone covering the tournament mention that aspect of the "caddie shake-up"?

I think - - but I am not certain - - that one of the other "Tiger ladies" also said he was the one who arranged her logisitcs. Was that not even interesting as part of the story of the caddies?

I didn't hear it and I haven't read it. Seems to me that most of the writers/commentators are protecting their continued access to Tiger-news as much as they are digging for stories or angles.

Flashback now to the 1990s and all the baseball reporters in all the locker rooms with all the contacts who never had a hint that steroids were being used...

He has 14 major victories. Does anyone else active even have five? Mickelson four. Harrington three and then dropped off the face of the earth.

The idea that Tiger Woods isn't a big story just ... astounds me.

As long as Tiger plays he will be a big story. I don't think he will win another major, though.

 

[Pancamo]

What is more important? The notes in Stevie's yardage book or the course knowledge Tiger has from winning 7 times? If dickhead is on dickhead's bag, the two dickheads don't win. People are acting like he took a club pro and turned into Jack.

Does anyone believe he be Willie Mays on the Mets or Joe Namath on the Rams?

 

[TwoGloves]

I don't discount the value of a good caddie. But at the end of the day, it's the player who has to decide whether or not to take his advice, work through your nerves and actually execute the shots. Tiger could have won some of his majors with me on the bag ... providing I didn't have a stroke carrying that monster for 72 holes!

The more Williams talks, the more like a 13-year-old girl he sounds.

He could have said nothing and every paper would have told a story he would have been happy with.

By popping off, he looks petty and like he's trying to claim too much credit.

He would have gotten more than he deserved if he had just shut up.

Maybe someone should tweet Doug Ferguson about that </crossthread>

If I were Scott, I'd fire Williams's ass within 30 seconds.

Players play. Caddies cadd.
