Steve Williams, born on November 29, 1963, in Wellington, New Zealand, began his caddying career at the tender age of six. By the age of ten, he was frequently caddying 36 holes on weekends, eventually achieving a two-handicap in golf by age 13. His early passion for caddying led him to leave school before turning 16 to pursue a career on the European Tour in 1979. Over the next decade, Williams gained extensive experience across major professional tours worldwide, working with notable Australian professionals like Ian Baker-Finch. His career saw him caddying for golf legends such as Greg Norman from 1982 to 1989, and later Raymond Floyd on both the PGA and Champions Tours until 1999.
Williams’ career reached global prominence when he began caddying for Tiger Woods in March 1999, a partnership that would last until 2011. During this period, Williams was on the bag for 13 of Woods’ 15 major championship victories, including the historic ‘Tiger Slam’ where Woods held all four major titles simultaneously. His contributions extended beyond carrying clubs, as highlighted by a crucial decision at the 1999 PGA Championship where he successfully advised Woods on a putt, securing their first major win together. This tenure established Williams as one of the most recognized and successful caddies in golf history, earning an estimated $12 million during his time with Woods.
Following his impactful partnership with Tiger Woods, Williams continued to caddie for other prominent golfers. He worked with Adam Scott from 2011 to 2017, achieving a significant milestone when Scott won the Masters in 2013, marking his first major championship and the first for an Australian golfer. Williams also caddied for Danielle Kang in 2017 and Jason Day in 2019, further solidifying his reputation. Although largely retired from full-time caddying, he continued to make select appearances, notably for Adam Scott in 2022 and 2023, and for fellow New Zealander Daniel Hillier at the New Zealand Open. Beyond golf, Williams is known for his philanthropic efforts, establishing a charitable foundation in 2001 to support junior golfers and donating NZ$1 million to a cancer ward at Starship Children’s Health in 2008. He was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2007 for his services to youth sport and recreation.
