Tiger Woods Former Caddy Steve Williams Slams The Golfer With Racial Slur


Posted on Nov 05, 2011 @ 12:30PM - 14 comments

Caddy Steve Williams has made a shocking, racially tinged remark about his former boss Tiger Woods.

There's been no love lost between Woods and Williams since the golfer fired him this summer, and the tensions apparently aren't letting up.

At the Annual Caddy Awards Roast in Shanghai Friday night, Williams was asked about a comment he made in August where he described his Bridgestone International victory with new golfer Adam Scott as the best win of his life, despite having won 13 majors with Woods.

“It was my aim to shove it right up that black a**," Williams responded.

The comment was met with astonishment and nervous laughter by the audience of golfers and other caddies.

Williams later took to his website to say he was sorry after realizing his words had spread further than the party.

“I apologize for comments I made last night,” he wrote. “I now realize how my comments could be construed as racist. However, I assure you that was not my intent. I sincerely apologize to Tiger and anyone else I’ve offended.”

Tiger’s agent Mark Steinberg told AP that his client had heard about the racial tone of Williams’ remarks. “I was with Tiger last night when he heard the news,” Steinberg revealed. “If multiple reports… are true, then it’s sad it’s come down to this.”

The embattled pair will come face to face again on November 10 in Sydney for the Australia Open.

He's already had four surgeries on his left knee.  It's not known if Woods had to have surgery on the Achilles tendon or if he's been ordered into the boot to keep the foot and ankle immobilized in the hope of avoiding surgery.

Either way, Woods looked miserable as he struggled to get into his car.

During his public statement Friday, Tiger admitted to cheating on his wife and said he'd be returning to his in-patient therapy. As RadarOnline.com was the first to report, Woods had been at a behavioral clinic in Mississippi for treatment as a sex addict.

Williams wants Tiger to take as much time as he needs to address his "problem," and when they do get back to work, he says he "won't do anything differently. I won't view him any differently."

The caddie gave a lengthy interview after Rick Reilly wrote in ESPN the Magazine that Tiger should clean house and ditch Williams and others after the scandal. "What people fail to realize is I [just] work for Tiger Woods," Williams said in the interview, where he attacked Reilly’s call for his job.

"I live in New Zealand, I travel to and from New Zealand to caddie for Tiger Woods. I am not with him 24/7. Whilst I am a very good friend of his... I don't know what he does off the course. Some nights we go to dinner. His indiscretions have probably been [when he wasn't playing].

"When he is not competing, I am back in New Zealand. I have no knowledge of what he is doing. “
