Steve Williams would consider caddying for Tiger Woods again

Steve Williams has Tiger Woods on the brain.

The caddie, who lugged the bag for Woods for 13 years, had planned to ease into retirement with a part-time schedule in 2015 before Adam Scott, his boss of the past three and a half years, cut him loose last month. Now, the 50-year-old New Zealander, who apparently has not gotten over Woods firing him in 2011, has told Fairfax Media that he would think about hooking up with his former employer again.

“He’s definitely someone I’d consider,” said Williams about the possibility of getting back together with Woods, according to the Associated Press.

“He’s a tremendous talent,” Williams added, “but it’s hard to say right now because it’s only two weeks since I’ve hung up the clubs.”

The Woods-Williams divorce was not at all amicable and Don’t Call Me Stevie has taken the occasional pot shot at the former world No. 1, what with his crowing about Scott’s 2011 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational victory at Tiger’s expense, followed by his racist jab at the 14-time major winner. But, really, the semi-retired looper’s obsession with Woods is bordering on the creepy.

“I think Tiger and I need to sit down and have a conversation,” Williams said last November. “That opportunity hasn’t arisen yet, but that’s something I’d like to do.”

Despite what appeared to be a mending of fences between the two at last year’s British Open, Williams in September reiterated his grief about the broken relationship.

“It’s disappointing,” Williams told the New York Times’ Karen Crouse. “I caddied for the guy for 13 years, put my heart and soul into it, and there’s been no correspondence at all.”

Woods, who remains sidelined at least until December as he recovers from back surgery, apparently has not yet called but Williams continued to hold out hope of a reconciliation with his old mate.

“I’ve already had a couple of offers to caddy,” he told Fairfax, “but I’m not sure that’s what I want to do.”
