Tiger Woods’ Uncanny Caddy is Unusually Lucky

Tiger Woods finished his last round of the WGC Bridgestone Invitational feeling "Absolutely encouraged", as he ended the tournament with a score of one over par.  Although Woods did make the headlines, it was not for his play on the course, but rather his connection with the man who beat him by 18 strokes Sunday. 

Adam Scott won the tournament with a score of -17, four strokes better than second place finishers Rickie Fowler and Luke Donald.  This week Adam Scott and Tiger Woods developed a unique connection that ended up keeping Tiger’s name in the news regardless of his sub-average play.  On July 20^th, Woods fired his longtime caddy and close friend Steve Williams.  Williams carried Tiger’s bag for 12 years and 13 Major Championships.  This came to a major surprise to Williams and the golf world.  An even bigger surprise is the fact that Steve Williams was the winning caddy for the WGC Bridgestone Invitational, for his new employer, Adam Scott.  Scott and Williams should thank Woods for firing Williams and giving him the opportunity to work together in what Williams said was the “best week of my life”.

Not the best week for Tiger

Is Steve Williams good luck?  Does he know golf secrets that can propel his partnered player on a regular basis?  Maybe this is just an uncanny coincidence.
