Steve Williams started caddying at the
age of 10 at his home course of Paraparaumu. By 12
was working with legendary Australian
golfer Peter Thomson and then went on to make this
sometimes misunderstood role into a
highly successful career. Today Williams is the most
successful caddy of the modern era,
having amassed 150 tournament wins. He has worked with some of the golfing world’s best,
including 13 years on the bag of Tiger Woods. Together, Woods and Williams won more than 80
tournaments — with 13 major championships among them.
Williams’ new book Out of the Rough is a
candid reflection on his years caddying for Tiger Woods, Greg Norman, Raymond Floyd, Terry Gale,
Ian Baker-Finch and Adam Scott. Williams shares the highs and lows of their careers,
including his own very public split from Tiger Woods. He also explains the critical role of a caddy
and offers a rare insider’s view of the professional golfing world.
Although best known for his skills as a
caddy, there are many other sides to Williams. He is a philanthropist who through the Steve
Williams Foundation has helped young golfers and sick children and an accomplished speedway
driver having won two national titles.
But Williams’ story is far from over.
This year, Adam Scott lured Williams out of semi-retirement for the U.S. Open, the British Open, the PGA
Championship and the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.Next month they will team up again for
the Australian Open.
Chronicling Williams’ life from
childhood to present day, Out of the Rough is a unique window
into the life and career of one of New
Zealand’s most accomplished sportsmen.
