Tiger Woods makes drastic decision

While most everything to do Tiger Woods is new, it should not be that much of a shocker.

Tiger Team announced on its website Wednesday that Steve Williams would no longer work with Woods as a caddy, ending a relationship of 12 years, so that the two-door up to 13 of 14 major championships Tiger.

Here is the official statement of the Tiger website:

"I want to express my deep gratitude to Steve for all his help, but I think it is time to change," said Woods. "Stevie is a unique and a younger friend and he helped many of my results. I wish him good luck in the future. "

While it may be a big change, is not exactly surprising. Williams has worked with Adam Scott, why Tiger is injured, and both look good chemistry together. Along with this, it seems that everything that Woods can not make it a different path in his golf game would be wise, and although some have proposed this back in 2009, finally on Wednesday.

Williams sent an update on its website, said: "After 13 years of loyal service is needless to say it was a shock Given the circumstances of the last 18 months working through the scandal Tigers , a new coach and a great swing. change and Tiger fights through injuries, I am very disappointed to end our partnership very successful right now. I had the opportunity to work too late to Australian Adam Scott and now is younger to him on a permanent basis. "

Caddie-player relationship has always been a very interesting question. If you think about it, the majority of PGA players spend more time with their car than they do with their family, and although there are some relationships like Phil Mickelson and Jim Mackay that never seems to end, players change all the caddies time (ask any LPGA player who knows).

No replacement has been announced for Tiger yet, and since there is nothing else to say, we might as well remember two moments that defines the relationship between Williams and Woods.

The first came in the 2006 British Open, Tiger first major victory since the death of his father, Earl. Woods rolled in the putt winner, and collapsed into the arms of Williams in the green, do not let go and sobbed on the shoulder of the shuttle. The second came at the Bay Hill Invitational in 2009, when Tiger birdie putt disappeared, and his return from injury was complete. Both are celebrated as it was his first victory, and the competitive nature of players and athletes have shone through.

Most Caddies Williams, one of the best ever, and although it looks to continue his relationship with Scott, who is just waiting around the next bag to bring Mr. Woods.
