[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…"Woods was indifferent to prize money."

This is what Steve Williams (New Zealand), who carried the bag of 'Golf Emperor' Tiger Woods (USA) for a long time, said. On the 25th (Korean time), Golf Digest reported an interview with Williams who recently appeared on a podcast broadcast. "At the scorecard submission area, a prize money distribution chart by ranking is posted, but Woods never glanced at the prize money distribution chart," he said. Woods had no interest in prize money while playing in tournaments.

Williams was the 'Emperor Caddie' who carried Woods' caddie bag from 1999 to 2011. He collaborated on 13 of Woods' 15 major wins. Thanks to working closely with Woods during his prime, Williams received compensation amounting to 12 million dollars and was gifted a dozen cars by Woods. "Among the players I caddied for, Woods was the only one who never looked at the prize money distribution chart," he said, adding, "Woods played to win trophies and set records, not for prize money."
