Steve Williams Doesn't Think Tiger Will Care About His Comments on Lefty's Man Boobs


Yesterday I mentioned that Tiger Woods' caddie, Steve Williams, thinks Phil Mickelson is a wanker, and I wondered how that would go over with the world's No. 1 golfer. Eldrick canned caddie Fluff Cowan nearly a decade ago after Cowan got too cozy with the media.

Williams calling one of Woods' biggest rivals a "pr*ck" is infinitely higher profile than anything Cowan ever did, but Stevie doesn't seem too worried about it.

Tiger Woods' Caddie Tells Stories of Phil Mickelson's Man Boobs

We're only a month away from the start of the 2009 PGA Tour season, but we probably won't see Tiger Woods until March at the earliest. The world's No. 1 player is still rehabbing the knee he blowed up while winning the U.S. Open last June.


Woods' caddie, Steve Williams, has used the time off to return to his native New Zealand, race some cars (he owns a team), spend time with his family, and raise money for charity. And it was at a recent charity event that the sometimes surly Williams gave arguably the best golf-related interview not involving John Daly in the 500-year history of the sport.

Speaking with the Taranaki Daily News' Murray Hills, Williams shared this gem:

Jim Furyk Will Not Read Your Petty 'Articles'

If you made a list of golfers that would merit negative commentary, where would Jim Furyk rank on your list?

100? 435? Just below his own caddy, Fluff Cowan, that caused more of an uproar when he got canned by Tiger Woods than Furyk has in his entire career?

Maybe that's why his recent comments about avoiding the newspaper like a Tri-Delt at Arizona seem slightly peculiar.
"If something positive is written about you, I guess you can either ignore it or your head can get big," he said. "If something is negative about you, which happens quite a bit, then that can just (tick) you off, and that's not all that good."
Again, besides his swing, what negative stuff is printed about Furyk? That the buttons on his shirt are too big? He seems like about as nice a guy as you can have on tour, with an impeccable resume and a major championship to boot. I couldn't imagine ever idling up to my laptop with the thought of digging into this guy.
"I have a great relationship, in my opinion, with the media. I feel like I've been treated fairly," Furyk said. "But I think you all would be surprised at how little I pay attention."
Wait, so you're telling me you don't read my stuff? Even the time I wrote "be you" in an article about the British Open, rich in analysis and commentary you don't get just anywhere. Be You?! You think poetic diction like that just grows on trees?

I guess if you're Furyk, and you've eclipsed just north of $37 million in your career, skipping the morning newspaper routine isn't going to exactly disrupt your lifestyle. "Oh, earthquake in California, I hope my seventh house is still standing."
