Steve Williams

But I don't know that he's actually helped the guys as much as he could have.

And- and then you have Steve Williams come in, a total hardass, and like, "Dude, you're just making so many sloppy bogeys inside 150.

Let's clean that up." And that's basically exactly what happened, and Tiger got o- over one shot better overnight from stopping making bogeys inside 150.

I mean, overnight he went from a s- I mean, a very good tour player, obviously winning, but not crazy, to winning eight of his last nine starts once S- once, uh, you know, just overnight once Steve Williams came on the bag.

Well, my-

It's very sim- it's very similar to Scotty.

And, uh, proud is definitely what I would take from the last, for the last year.

Um, and especially to beat, um, Troy and to beat Steve in that playoff, um, on a very, very, very demanding par five, um, where there's trouble all along that right side that you cannot avoid not seeing.

Um, especially as a person that misses it right, it's all along that right side.

Mm-hmm.

Nice

... that was the, that was the biggest thing I took, um, in my final round in Louisiana.

Um, I heard an Instagram short from Steve Williams, who used to caddy for Tiger, and he talked about how on Tiger's worst days, all he did was just commit, and he won a golf- he won golf tournaments with his C game.

And-

So when he appeared, there was a presence in him.

in 05 I played the first two rounds of the Open the game in front of them and it was carnage just carnage because you can imagine it's St Andrews everybody's in the outskirts of the course so people are trying to get to the next tee because you don't really get to the greens at St Andrews people are trying to get to the next tee to watch them tee off where we're already there trying to tee off and there's nobody really bothered about what we're doing so I was I remember going into the players lounge and I thought there's people everywhere Steve Williams walked into the players lounge with a bag and carries weren't allowed in the players lounge it was players and players families but he just walked in with a bag and my dad had a bunch of caps he had got to get for the sportsman's dinner we do here to get autographs on them and he says to me so Giant Tiger would do it I says hang it probably wood down here because he's out with the thing he says but grab him before he has his lunch so he just went over and he just got in Steve Williams is over the bag my dad walks over with the sharpie and the cap Steve Williams just goes we don't do that and Tiger just went to get him and did this

Did he?

What a legend.

Yeah.

So you, you did a trip with Adam and Steve Williams, who was caddying for him at the time.

What did you learn, I guess, during that process that changed your understanding of how the absolute best prepare for tournaments?

Hmm.

Yes, that's a good call.

will tell you that.

And I saw Scotty Sheffield doing his gym program on social media.

I guess now he's on the seniors tour and all that.

Tony Ruggiero, Mark Sweeney, Invented Aimpoint, like just Sean Foley, like Marco Mira, Steve Williams.

I know I'm missing people here, but like I'm blessed, absolutely blessed.

And I've got a lot of people to thank because I do, you know, I do ask.

No doubt about it.

We're looking at like, Quinn and Williams.

You're looking at Jalen Carter.

You're looking at DeForest Buckner.

Yeah, for

sure.

Higher than Williams.

Williams is different.

Um, Next segment, we're going to get into your major win and all that that transpired afterwards.

But before we go to break, I was going to ask you about Steve Williams.

Steve worked for you.

He worked for Greg.

He worked for Ray Floyd.

Of course, he worked for Tiger and all that.

From when Steve Williams worked for you and for Greg, and I've read his book.

I've watched lots of interviews with him.
