Feature Interview - Steve Williams

From Afternoons, 3:07 pm on 9 November 2015

New Zealander Steve Williams says his relationship with Tiger Woods remains like a nasty divorce after spending 13 years as his caddy, and winning 13 major championships with the golfing legend.

He says Woods sometimes treated him like a slave and left him to take flak from the media when news of Woods' extra marital affairs first came out.

The revelations come in his new memoir, Steve Williams: Out of the Rough.

Williams details his start as a schoolboy carrying the bag for his dad at the Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club to working for greats like Sir Bob Charles and Greg Norman.

He talks to Jesse Mulligan about his career and his new book.
