For thirteen years of being Tiger Woods' caddie, Steve Williams has broken his silence and described his resentment and frustration at being treated "like I was his slave" when the golfer's infidelities were published in a book, as reported in Daily News.
Williams claimed to be extremely angry after learning of his boss' affair. He repeatedly asked for Woods' management to give out a statement that would clear his name of any involvement in this shocking news.
"There was a lot I needed to say and it was going to be difficult to tell my boss he had to pull his head in," Williams writes of a 2010 phone call with Woods. "I explained to him what had happened in New Zealand and how furious I was at being dragged through the wringer over a scandal I had nothing to do with. He needed to know how difficult that was for me and my family."
During Williams wedding in 2006, Woods was the best man - that's how close they were. Williams described his disappointment in how he and Woods parted ways when Woods dumped him in 2011. Williams now works with Adam Scott.
"One thing that really pissed me off was how he would flippantly toss a club in the general direction of the bag, expecting me to go over and pick it up," Williams writes in "Out of the Rough."
"I felt uneasy about bending down to pick up his discarded club - it was like I was his slave. The other thing that disgusted me was his habit of spitting at the hole if he missed a putt.
Williams likewise revealed on Saturday that Woods is recovering from a second back surgery and will be out until 2016.
"I didn't have any sympathy for him over what he'd done," Williams writes in the book. "I believe you're in charge of your own actions and I have no sympathy for people who get addicted to drugs or gambling or sex. People make choices in their lives and he had chosen to do this.
"But I did have sympathy for the way he'd had to suffer in front of the world when others would have been able to sort out their mess in private."
