Steve Williams is the most famous golf caddie in the world! A regular presence on the major international golf tours Williams knows the game inside out. He started his career in his home country of New Zealand working with local players, but his big break came when he carried the bags of the Australian legend Peter Thompson in the New Zealand Open. Williams moved to Europe as a youngster to caddie on a European Tour and worked with famous pros such as Ian Baker-Finch and Greg Norman, for whom he caddied exclusively until 1989. This was followed by a decade with Raymond Floyd.
In 1999 Williams joined Tiger Wood’s team, becoming his main caddie and known for enthusiastically defending his employer during major tournaments. Their very successful partnership came to an end in 2011 and Williams started to work for Australian Adam Scott and has since carried bags for Danielle King and Jason Day.
Having amassed over 150 wins in his career and been ‘on the bag’ for 14 major championship wins Williams released his autobiography in 2016, Out of the Rough: The Caddy’s Story. His charitable work assisting junior players in New Zealand saw him named in the Queen’s Birthday Honours and he has made large donations to local children’s cancer wards. Off the golf course Williams likes to race fast cars and has won various Saloon Car titles.
