Steve Williams, the long-time caddie of Tiger Woods claimed that he knew nothing of Tiger’s “transgressions”, though it is hard to believe the word of Woods’ caddie, agent and close friends.

About the infidelities, the New Zealander, Williams for the world No 1′s bag for the past decade stated that: “I had no knowledge of what Tiger’s indiscretion was,”
“I am an honest person. I had no knowledge of what was going on. If I did, I would say I did.”
He added: “What people fail to realise is I (just] work for Tiger Woods. I live in New Zealand, I travel to and from New Zealand to caddie for Tiger Woods. I am not with him 24/7.
“Whilst I am a very good friend of his… I don’t know what he does off the course. Some nights we go to dinner. His indiscretions have probably been (when he wasn’t playing].
“When he is not competing, I am back in New Zealand. I have no knowledge of what he is doing.
“Yes, I talk to him on the phone, ask him how his practice is going, how he is hitting the ball, how his family is, (but] I don’t know what he is doing, just like he doesn’t know what I am doing.”
Woods announced on Friday that he would take an “indefinite break” from golf after admitting his infidelity for the first time.
The 33-year-old, who is married to Swedish former model Elin Nordegren, has been swamped by a series of affair allegations since crashing his car in mysterious circumstances on 27 November.
Williams backed Woods’ decision to focus his attention on saving his marriage and remains committed to the troubled star. “Tiger just said he needs a break and I don’t want to put any pressure on the guy,” he said. “He will know in his mind, and his family will know in their mind, when it is the right time for him to return to playing golf.
“He will have the right people counseling him and between the people that counsel him, his wife and his immediate friends, when he is ready to come back he will be ready to come back.”
He added: “I have always stated that my last caddie job will be caddying for Tiger.
“I am committed to him. I understand he needs a break to sort his personal stuff out. And I will be there for him when he wishes to return to play.”
Meanwhile, television commentator Peter Alliss believes that if Woods does not play for the next six months he might never play again. Alliss, a former Ryder Cup player who has been television’s best-known commentator on the game for more than 30 years, has described Woods as being in “dreadful turmoil” and wonders what the future holds.
