Michael Granse, Photographer Urbana | IL | USA | Posted: 5:08 PM on 07.20.11 ->> Tiger Woods has fired is caddie, Steve Williams, today.

There was a lot of speculation that this move would eventually happen since there was almost no way that Williams didn't know of Woods' transgressions and that part of his moving on would be to separate himself from his enablers.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The biggest skank however, is Steve Williams. Instead of handling it with class and wishing Tiger luck, he complains, cries and bitches. I'm guessing that karma has just hit hime. Go high five that, Stevie.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (2) | Huh?

So its no surprise that in his mind he equates Adam's win to it being himself somehow beating Tiger. I have a feeling it wont be over for a bit longer but Adam's should kick him to the curb.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

HE didn't win…..Adam Scott did. Steve didn't swing a club. He's just a caddy. I was a caddy when I was 14, then I finished high school, went to college, grew up and got a real job and and a real career. ...OK, this last comment isn't really fair - I recognize pro caddies have a role to play, and they can be a valued assistant to their golfer, but for the love of Pete, he carries somebody else's golf bag several days a week for part of the year, and doing so has made him a multi-millionaire. Stevie, please just take the money Tiger earned you and fade away.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Does your real job pay you the $2-3 million per year that Williams makes? Has your real career got you a few endorsement deals that pay? Granted Williams is, and has been, an asshole, but he's a very wealthy asshole carrying those bags around four days a week...  This post is:  Informative (2) | Funny (0) | Huh?

He's made a lot more money carrying somebody else's golf bag around a few days a week for parts of the last 12(?) years than all of us working stiffs working 60 hours a weeks will ever make in our entire lives. He should count his blessings, recognize his good fortune and just stop acting like HE is the star here. I don't know him at all, but it seems whenever I've heard about him over the past decade+ it's been because he's doing one Jackwagon thing or another.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I'm a fan of Adam Scott, but as long as that dipstick is carrying his bag, I will hope he barely makes the cut for now on. Yes, I'm a huge TW fan.
