I just heard on ESPN radio that Stevie was in another car wreck during a race.

Did you know that Stevie Williams is New Zealand's highest paid sportsman.
Micheal Campbell outranked him for a short time after he won the US open, but Stevie Williams is back on top again!

"This all says two things to me - 1/ Golfers make way t0o much money if a caddy can become a countries highest paid sportsman and 2/ NZ as a country really needs to get a life."




Harsh.

Lots of other references, depends what time frame.

Hope the accident wasn't serious.  So this brings up a question or at least it does to me.  Is he replaceable to Tiger?  I know they have a great friendship but a player and caddie are normally considered to be a team and a break-up becomes news.  If Stevie got injuried racing bad enough that he couldn't work for a while would Tiger replace him?  If not, would he require him to sign some sort of a non-particpating agreement as other sports require of their stars.  I know he isn't the player but he is a part of the team.

I could loop for Tiger drunk and he would still be a winner.

And if he was sober, we rule.

Isn't the "drunk" part sort of redundant?

how much advice does tiger really take from him ?

i think he's more of a 'buddy' and 'enforcer'  out there  than really a caddy

I've read that he reads a lot of putts for him.

Specifically the (99 or 00 at Medina I can't remember) putt for the win over Sergio was all Stevie.  Tiger had it on the wrong side of the Hole.

IIRC Stevie basically said "I've seen it, I've done it, trust me."  Tiger said I do.

Stevie was in a crash while racing in some 'stock car' type event in New Zealand.

Seems it wasn't his fault..(hmmm).  Anyway he went nuts at the other driver, after they both got out of their cars.  Before that Stevie was running after the guy in the other car punching him through the window.

It's confirmed... Stevie the Wonder Dog is a fruitloop...

 ;D
