WELLINGTON, New Zealand — New Zealander Steve Williams doesn’t believe his job as Tiger Woods’ caddie is under any threat, despite media speculation about their 11-year association and concern over the champion golfer’s form.
Williams told New Zealand radio Wednesday that he and Woods remain close friends and there is no possibility their working relationship is about to end.

“I’m sure if there was going to be some sort of parting of the ways, I’d be the first to know,” he said. “From my point of view, I do not see any chance of that happening.”
Williams stated Woods had no plans to change his key personnel, though he has struggled to regain form after taking a break from the PGA Tour amid revelations of marital infidelities.
“People speculate. He’s not playing well and his results aren’t what we are used to,” Williams stated in the radio interview. “Tiger and I are very good friends and we have been through a tough time, there is no question about that.
“I’m fully supportive of the guy and he is been great through this whole situation with me.”
Williams expressed confidence in the capability of Woods’ new swing coach Sean Foley to revive his game.
“He hasn’t decided if that is the coach who’s going to be with him, but I really like what this new guy had to state and what his theories are,” Williams said. “If Tiger decides to stick with Sean, I believe he will get better. It might take a tiny while.”
Woods completed 28th at last week’s PGA Championship in Wisconsin, a week after posting the worst 72-hole total of his career — 18 over par — at the Bridgestone Invitational event in Ohio. Williams stated nobody should rush to the conclusion Woods was losing his capability or his aura.
“At the end of the day, Tiger Woods is Tiger Woods,” Williams said. “He’s won 14 majors and 71 PGA Tour events. Regardless of what is gone on, you cannot take that away from the guy.
“Tiger knows how to win and people know that he knows how to win. When he gets back in the situation where he is playing well again and he is in contention to win, he will get the job done.”
Williams stated Woods remained hopeful of being selected by captain Corey Pavin in the U.S. team for the Ryder Cup.
“It’s one of the biggest events in the world and anybody that is played in it before, always has the desire to play in it again,” Williams said. “We’ve got a couple more weeks to show him [Pavin] that he is playing better.”
