Williams, 50, was in the new Tuesday for telling people at his Caddie Hall of Fame induction that he hated Tiger Woods calling him Stevie and that he was going to talk to Adam Scott about a new schedule that would have him on the bag only between March and September in order to spend more time in his home country of New Zealand with his wife and son.
But, it’s apparent that this arrangement was not going to work for the second best golfer in the world right now.
“After discussing this in detail with Adam it became evident that my plan was not going to fit with Adam’s requirements so we decided to end our partnership,” Williams told the Golf Channel.
With Williams on the bag, Scott was able to win the 2013 Masters and rise to the No. 1 golfer in the world ranking this year before Rory McIlroy took it over. Scott has only finished outside the top-25 once this year.
“Steve has been an integral part of my team in a period where I have fulfilled some of my lifetime golfing goals,” Scott said in a statement. “His dedication and professionalism have been without question, and his friendship is highly valued. Our priorities and stages of life are different now, and so we decided that this is the best time to end our partnership.”
Williams, who also caddied for Raymond Floyd and Greg Norman, worked with Tiger Woods from 2000-2011. Together they won 13 majors, but then Tiger dropped Williams when Williams agreed to caddie for Scott while Woods was injured.
Williams said in a statement that he would be interested in caddying in the future on a part-time basis.
