This Is Why People Don't Like You Steve Williams

There once was a time way back when, when caddies were looked down upon by members of the golfing community.  A time when they were seen as the "poor people who couldn't be members at a prestigious golf club."  That time is no more.

The emotional wins with Stevie and Tiger are no more

Being a caddie in today's golfing world is actually more lucrative than many other full-time jobs, with a caddie making about 10% of all earnings that their player wins throughout the year.  So, when Steve Williams was on the bag for Tiger Woods for 12 years, 13 majors, and 70 career professional wins, it would come as no surprise that 10% of Woods' earnings would make Williams a fairly wealthy man and well off for his future and family.  So to stand there in a news conference after your new player, Adam Scott, wins the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and stick it to Tiger by saying that "this is the most satisfying win I've ever been a part of..." is the very reason why very few avid golf watchers like you and many despise you.  You mean to tell me that a win at the Bridgestone Country Club is more satisfying than winning a major in record fashion at Pebble Beach, or being the first person Woods hugs after winning the British Open just weeks after his father passes away?  Or how about that epic showdown between underdog Rocco Mediate and a hobbled Woods in the 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines where it took more than the 18 hole playoff for Woods to win his 14th major?  So don't lie to the people of golf by saying (in a very arrogant tone) that this was your most satisfying win because I doubt anyone believed the words when they came out of you mouth, even you.

Many believe that now with a notable caddy on his bag, Adam Scott will now believe to reach his full potential.

You took all the attention off of a great performance by Scott and focused everything around you and your beef with Tiger.  Not too professional on your part.  But then again, you're not too much of a professional anyways, you're just a caddy.

So, I'll leave you with this: change the way you act because you were the reason why some people didn't like Tiger Woods when he was winning all the time.  And if you continue to act in that arrogant manner while caddying for a well-liked tour pro such as Adam Scott, you'll start to give him a bad rap and you'll be once again, off the bag.
