Tiger's Former Caddie Shocks Golf World With Racist Insult About Woods

By Oliver Brown, The Telegraph

Steve Williams stunned the world of golf with an extraordinary racist insult against former employer Tiger Woods.

The controversial New Zealand caddie had been asked on stage, during a dinner at the HSBC Champions in Shanghai, to explain his notorious gloating celebration after Adam Scott’s win at Akron in August. He replied, in reference to Woods: “My aim was to shove it right up that black --------.”

The remark by Williams left the audience of players, caddies and sponsors aghast. While the occasion had been intended as a light-hearted celebration of the ‘caddie of the year’ award, Williams’ comment was uniformly seen as beyond the pale and escalated his bitter sniping at Woods to a new level.
