Tiger's Caddie Break Silence, Shatters Trust?

By A. Scott Walton
Would Tiger Woods be better off ditching his long-time caddie, Steve Williams, before resuming his career?
For nearly a dozen years, they've forged the most successful on-course partnership in golf history; enriching them both beyond limits the PGA ever envisioned.
But how well do Woods and Williams really know each other? And how likely is it that Tiger reform notorious ways if the confidante his game relies on most claims that they're virtual strangers, and reportedly holds a grudge about the exposed marital infidelities?
The fiery New Zealander who's rarely been known to hold his tongue when it comes to advising and defending Woods' in the course of their 11-year relationship has just made the reckless move of telling a TV station that he's "mad" about the controversy Tiger's stirred up and that, as he's concerned, the world's greatest golfer was leading a double-life.
This from a guy who's gotten rich and famous toting Tiger's bag all these years? Is this really who's got Tiger's back when he returns to play?

GANG GREEN: The only player who belongs in the same sentence with Woods in any "all-time greatest golfer" context joins a growing number of pundits who feel certain that Tiger will compete at this year's Masters. Jack Nicklaus, who has 18 Major tourney titles to Tiger's 14, told media assembled for this week's Honda Classic that Woods will eventually 'figure out' his ordeal.
