Tiger Wood and Steve Williams through the years

Tigers Woods fired caddie Steve Williams in July 2011, just a month after Williams caddied for Scott at the U.S. Open at Congressional. Woods was out of the event with an injury, leaving Williams with nothing to do. Scott, without a caddie after parting ways with Tony Navarro, needed someone with Williams' talents. The two paired up at Congressional for what both likely believed was a one-week affair.

However, Woods didn't take kindly to Williams finding side work and ditched him after a dozen years and 13 majors won together. Scott and Williams became a full-time team. When Scott won the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational later that summer, Williams celebrated obnoxiously and acted like he won the tournament, maybe marking the first time ever the caddie had a post-tournament news conference. Woods eventually settled on Joe LaCava as his caddie.
