Woods Vs Williams

For years Tiger Woods has been the favorite. The favorite to win tournaments and majors.. but what about heavy weight bouts?

Well we may just find out.

Tiger Vs. Steve has been brewing now since the sudden announcement of the duo's parting ways. Like most heavy weight fights, there is trash talk but surprisingly (or maybe not so much) Stevie has done most of the talking thus far. First there was the threat of the tell all book depicting the intricacies of Tiger Woods' life both on and off the course. Then there were the comments about loyalty, trust, and friendship. But now we are seeing something very rare.. caddie interviews gone wrong.

Recently Adam Scott won the Bridgestone Invitational, he played a fantastic four rounds of golf putting on a clinic for other golfers in the field. One of those other golfers was none other than.. Tiger.

Tiger chose this tournament to come back for several reasons:
1.) He has won there 7 times
2.) There is no cut (so he cant be embarrassed again)
and 3.) It's one week before the last major of the year, one he has won 4 times.. the PGA.

When Sunday afternoon at Firestone came around however, it wasn't Tiger in the spotlight. It wasn't Tiger giving the on-green-interview with David Feherety.. it wasn't even Adam Scott.. it was....... Steve Williams?

That's right, Steve Williams got the post round interview, and oh what an interview it was. Not only did he not mention Adam Scott at any point, he claimed this win.. with Adam.. at Firestone, was his "most satisfying victory ever".

Wow

Forget 13 Major Championships, forget some of the most UNforgettable golf ever played, and forget being on the bag for arguably the best player in HISTORY. Guess that was all just plain compared to Adam Scott winning a "tune-up" tournament in what some are calling a "dire attempt at a comeback".

Tiger has since responded to Stevie's statements by saying "Those are Steve's thoughts, his emotions and his choice to say what he wants to say". But here's my question. When is enough enough? When do these comments eat into Tiger's subconscious to the point where Tiger fires back?

Maybe he will, maybe he wont. Tigers can lay dormant for a long time

But remember..

It's just a matter of time until they pounce.

Until next time,
Hit 'em straight.
