Why Caddies Should Never Speak

Steve Williams: “I wouldn't call [Phil] Mickelson a great player, 'cause I hate the [expletive]. I don't particularly like the guy. He pays me no respect at all and hence I don't pay him any respect. It's no secret we don't get along either.”

Phil Mickelson: “After seeing Steve Williams' comments all I could think of was how lucky I am to have a class act like Bones [Caddie Jim MacKay] on my bag and representing me.”

Tiger Woods: “I was disappointed to read the comments attributed to Steve Williams about Phil Mickelson, a player that I respect. It was inappropriate. The matter has been discussed and dealt with.”
