‘Both Elin and I Understood…’: Accusing Tiger Woods of Letting Her Husband ‘Suffer,’ Former Caddie’s Wife Once Exposed the Plight of Her Family

Stevie Williams is a renowned caddie in the golf fraternity who has worked with some of the biggest names, such as Tiger Woods, Greg Norman, and most recently Jason Day. The New Zealander is mostly known for caddying for Woods for 12 years. Williams has seen the 15-time major champion go through a lot of highs and lows, both in his professional and personal lives.

The 59-year-old came up with his memoir, ‘Out of the Rough: Inside the Ropes with the World’s Greatest Golfers,’ which was published in 2015. In the memoir, William’s wife Kirsty Williams, expressed how the golfer let his family suffer during his more than decade-old cheating scandal.

Tiger Woods’ former caddie’s wife once accused him of his actions
The world was taken aback in 2009 when news about the golf Hall of Famer’s infidelity came to the forefront. The scandal not only affected Woods’ personal life, but his professional life as well.

In his book, originally published eight years ago, ‘Out of the Rough,’ Kirsty, the caddie’s wife, shared how it impacted her family. On page number 196 of the book, she said that a lot of people’s anger was directed toward her husband as well.

People were also blaming him for what had happened. “A lot of people thought he was doing it too and that he and Tiger were going out together.” Sharing how the difficult time did not shake her bond with her husband, she said, “I never doubted Steve.”

Kirsty also spoke about the kind of trust Wood’s ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, had in Steve Williams. She said that the Swedish model also never doubted the caddie and believed that if he had known about the cheating, he would have informed her. “Both Elin and I understood that Tiger knew very well that Steve was the kind of guy who would have told Elin about his cheating, had he known.”

She also mentioned that she requested the golfer to clear Williams’ name but he could not do that because it could entice the media to ask more questions. To Kirsty’s request, Woods replied, “The media would start asking if anyone else knew, and they did, so basically he was covering their butts and letting Steve suffer.”

How did Woods’ scandal affect his caddie of 12 years?
The golfer was not the only individual who was affected by the whole scandal; his team and the people who were working with him were also highly affected. In his memoir, Williams mentioned that the time when the news broke out was an extremely difficult period for him and his family.

His son would come home and ask, “Why do people say you’re bad?” He had asked Woods’ team to release a statement that would clear his name, but it did not happen.

Williams has shared a lot more information about his 12-year-long relationship with the golf GOAT, Tiger Woods. All in all, it is safe to say that the scandal affected his teams’ lives more than anyone knew of. And that led to the loss of trust and chaos.
