Tiger and Steve Williams Split

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Tiger Woods has decided to get rid of Steve Williams as his caddie.

Woods announced on his website Wednesday that he and Williams, who have been together since March 1999, will no longer be working together.

"I want to express my deepest gratitude to Stevie for all his help, but I think it's time for a change," Woods said. "Stevie is an outstanding caddie and a friend and has been instrumental in many of my accomplishments. I wish him great success in the future."

Woods did not say who would replace Williams, or when he would return. Woods continues to rest and rehabilitate left leg injuries.

Williams has worked the last two majors for Adam Scott of Australia.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

	bmoody16 7/29/2011 9:49:03 PM I little bit sad not to see the two of them together going after Jack's record. Tiger messed things up for sure. Just goes to show that bad decisions have an impact on more than just the person making the bad decisions. This is really an epic failure. These two should have been the ultimate story of golf for years and years.

	John Greenwald 7/26/2011 7:14:55 PM Tiger who? LOL
	AndrewIgloi 7/25/2011 10:55:44 PM who cares if tiger plays another event.. so many good golfers now, who cares what he does..
	JohnBarree 7/25/2011 7:50:45 AM Steve Williams is just another fired caddy. If this bring Tiger character into question, every tour golfer character should be questioned except Trevino, Tom Watson, and Phil character should be questioned. Show 2 Replies
	Mark Simmons 7/25/2011 12:54:15 AM I think this move reveals more about Tiger's character than anything...and it ain't pretty.
	trsockwell 7/24/2011 9:55:43 PM It's about time.
	T LAVAN SHOEMAKER 7/23/2011 7:26:09 PM At first, I didn't think so....but now? At some point you have to admit that you're in a nonrecoverable tail spin. He keep yanking at the controls and disbelieving his gauges. HEY!!! PILOT ERROR M.F!! He has to make a major decision that FIRST involves a long look in the mirror or else he's crashing this plane for good. I think he is absolutely physically capable of achieving every goal that he ever set for himself. At this point in time, I DO NOT think he has the emotional fortitude to play putt putt. Apple didn't fall too far from the tree did it? That was about the only short coming that Earl ever showed wasn't it? "Poo Nanny Killed the Golfing Pro Star." (video killed the radio star)
	firecapt60 7/22/2011 12:24:54 PM That is what it is. It is probably better for Steve. Those guys don't get enough credit for what they do. Nascar crew chiefs get more recognition than these guys.
	Muskyrecon 7/22/2011 11:44:13 AM I think its the best thing Tiger could do, why take a great Caddy down with him!!! Tiger is no more..... Show 1 Replies

	stevebcfc 7/21/2011 9:38:18 AM Interesting comments from Steve Williams today.
	1hacker 7/20/2011 8:28:39 PM Ok different outlook here... It suggests to me there will be some time before the tiger comes back to play. No sense loaning Steve. Not fair to either one. Just another thought
	slingshotg 7/20/2011 8:21:01 PM maybe change is good whatever it may be please hurry up tiger the golf world misses you badly
