Shut Up Stevie

Stevie Williams needs to shut the hell up. Enough is enough. You are a caddy. Saying this past weekend's win at the Bridgestone was the biggest of your career is a load of crap. You are bitter about your much publicized break up from Tiger Woods. We all know a WGC event isn't bigger than winning the majors. You know Tiger better than anyone. You know that once his swing is fixed, just like the last time everyone thought he was done, he will be back near the top. You're just bitter that you can't ride his coattails and get his left over tail.

First off, where do you get the nerve to completely over shadow your new employer Adam "never trust a man with two first names" Scott. You would think, based on the coverage of Williams that he won the tournament. Scott was clearly the best player in the field for most of the week. Unfortunately, it was overshadowed by Stevie's "revenge" over a guy who hasn't played in months. Lucky for Adam he was able to be present for the biggest win of Stevie's career.

Career?

What career? You carry an oversized bag full of clubs around for a living.

How many fairways have you hit?

What is your sand save percentage?

And those 5 footers to save par? Right....

Let's call a spade a spade. You are a good caddy. You won many times on Raymond and Norman's bags, but do you really think that anyone knew, or for that matter, cared who the guy carrying the clubs was? The answer is no.

It wasn't until Tiger that you became a household name. 72 times Tiger reached into the 18th cup and pulled out his Nike ball, took off his cap and smiled victoriously. You were fortunate enough to be behind him in all of those occasions. You were lucky enough to be the guy that got to yell at paying fans to quit taking pictures or talking in Tiger's backswing. A lot of the criticism of those actions were directed at Tiger, but how much of it was you trying to draw attention to yourself. HEY, I'M OVER HERE! IF I YELL AT THESE FANS, I'LL DEFINATELY BE ONE TV. And you were the guy who got to share the screen with the generation's best golfer as the networks showed every single one of Tiger's shots. You owe him your so-called "career."

Yeah so if a casual fan was asked to name a caddy, the odds are that they would name you. However, this doesn't give you the right to run your mouth like you have actually done something. You read putts, carry the bag, and give distances. That's it. On average it is said that a good caddy can save 1 stroke per round. But how many strokes did Tiger save because of his brillance.

Tiger's career was headed down the crapper. He needed a change. He fired Hank Haney. He fired you. Thousands of people get fired everyday. Grow up and accept it. Granted, Tiger could have done it in person, and not over the phone, but this is the same guy that made you a multi-millionaire for simply carrying a bag for 4 days a week. It is what it is. Let it rest. You are financialy set, and you were able to get on the bag of a pretty decent player without any problem. It's Adam Scott, not Briny Baird.

If I was Scott, I'd fire Stevie too. There is no way that a caddy should be a bigger star than the PGA Tour professional. Scott seems like a pretty quiet guy, and the media firestorm that has been following Williams may be too much. If you never watched golf before and based your opinions on media coverage, you would have to think that Stevie won the Bridgestone and is heading into the PGA as a favorite.

How hard would it have been to say, "This was a great win for Adam. I'm thrilled to be on his bag and we are poised to contend week in and week out."

But not for Williams.

Without Tiger, he isn't a star. Not that he ever really was, but without Tiger his face time is exponentially less. He needs to make headlines. He needs to be in the public eye. He's a diva. And obviously his play can't do the talking, so he has to use his mouth.

Tiger's moved on, and now it's time for you to too.
