A friend put a bug in my ear on the column potential of the caddie Steve Williams and his recent split with Tiger Woods and she was right. It was a great opportunity to examine integrity and loyalty in all of our lives.
Today’s Game Plan: A Caddie Gives Us Pause on Integrity
found your article over at fox. i don’t believe you could be more wrong on this one. (and no, I’m not related to the man). the man was ecstatic about being on the winning team because his previous boss dumped him even after he stood by him for the last 2 years even with all the trash that’s come out about Tiger. put the he said/he saids aside and still he just said he was happy to beat somebody that crapped on him after 12 years of loyalty. i don’t have a problem with that and i think the only people who do have problem with that are the people who still love tiger and can’t see him for what he is. i think he now sees himself for what he is and that’s whats happened to his game, not his caddie.
Mike, I’m not sure where you’re getting that we disagree. In fact, isn’t this line from the column essentially what you’re saying: “OK, got it. That’s human. He had a moment. His relationship with Woods was meaningful and a split–whether personal or professional–can be jarring.”
I am expressing no problem with Williams here at all. What I’m trying to get readers to do is look at this very public situation and apply some tough questions to their own lives.
I really appreciate you taking the time to write.
