Steve Williams: Famous golf caddy talks his career highs and lows, relationship with Tiger Woods, new book
The Mike Hosking Breakfast - En podkast av Newstalk ZB - Onsdager
It’s been about 14 years since Kiwi Steve Williams last caddied for the great Tiger Woods. But to coincide with the 2025 Masters and the 20th anniversary of Woods’ iconic shot on the 16th hole at Augusta – Williams is releasing a new book. ‘Together We Roared: Alongside Tiger for His Epic Twelve-Year, Thirteen-Majors Run’ is filled with behind the scenes moments, delivering the definitive account of one of the most successful golfer-caddie partnerships in the sport’s history. Williams told Mike Hosking he found the process of writing the book to be like a memory – a great way to rewind and relive the journey of the time he spent caring for Woods. He says that during the partnership, there was little time to celebrate Woods’ successes, as every moment was focused on the next championship. “That pursuit of trying to chase down Jack [Nicklaus]’s record of 18 major championships sort of became an obsession,” he said. “The book actually has, has been a real good thing for me – to be able to actually sit down and take a look at what he achieved.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
