Woods Gets Temporary Third Caddie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: August 23, 2005
AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- Tiger Woods has employed only
two professional caddies during his nine years on the
PGA Tour. He's about to get his third, but only
temporarily.
Woods said he will use Billy Foster, the caddie for Darren
Clarke, at the Presidents Cup next month. His regular
caddie, Steve Williams, is going home to New Zealand
because his fiance is expecting their first child.
Woods knows the English caddie from having played
several rounds in practice and in tournaments with
Clarke and Thomas Bjorn, for whom Foster also once
worked.
''He's good at what he does,'' Woods said. ''I've seen
him work with Clarkey over the years, and he's had
some success. There were a couple of guys I was
considering, but I like his personality. He's very
competitive, very feisty, and very similar to Stevie.''
Asked if Foster was allergic to cameras, Clarke smiled
and said, ''No.''
Foster plays off a 1 handicap. One example of his
personality might be the time he caddied for the
temperamental Seve Ballesteros. He had Foster put
some fruit in the bag before a round, and eventually
asked for an apple.
Ballesteros inspected the apple and told him, ''This is no
good.''
To which Foster replied, ''Do you want a caddie or a
grocer?''
The Presidents Cup, to be played Sept. 22-25 at Robert
Trent Jones Golf Club, is between the United States
and an International team from everywhere but Europe.
Clarke has said he will not be playing that week in the
Seve Trophy on the European tour.
The only other pro caddie for Woods was Mike ''Fluff''
Cowan from the start of his career until early 1999.
As for Williams?
Woods said he was expected to be on the bag at the
Deustche Bank Championship next week outside
Boston, then return at the start of October for the
American Express Championship in San Francisco.
He said Bryon Bell, his best friend from junior high
school, would caddie for him Oct. 20-23 in the Funai
Classic at Disney. Bell, who usually works Disney, was
Woods' caddie when he won the
Buick Invitational in 1999.
