Steve Williams admits he has lost "a tremendous amount of respect" for Tiger Woods after the former World No 1 ended their 12-year partnership
Steve Williams admits he has lost "a tremendous amount of respect" for Tiger Woods after the former World No 1 ended their 12-year partnership.
Williams caddied for Woods as the American won 13 of his 14 major titles, but Woods announced the split publicly yesterday, saying it was "time for a change."

Their relationship had been strained by the sex scandal surrounding Woods which broke in November 2009, and the New Zealander said: "I think anybody in my situation would say they didn't have total respect and that respect would have to be earned. Obviously this situation is certainly not earning my respect.
"I told him when we first met met back up in 2010 at Augusta that he had to earn my respect back. He was aware of that and he would know right now I've lost a tremendous amount of respect for him. Through time I hope he can gain my respect back. He definitely needs to earn my respect again, that's for sure."
