Tiger Woods Says His Former Caddie Is Not Racist

As you know, Tiger Woods’ former caddie Steve Williams was recently asked why he had celebrated Adam Scott's Bridgestone Invitational win in August so enthusiastically. When he replied that it was because his aim was to shove it up Tiger’s “black arsehole", he was apparently not being racist. Woods himself forgave Williams by saying it was “just a comment he shouldn't have made."

When he replied that it was because his aim was to shove it up Tiger’s “black arsehole”, he was apparently not being racist. Woods himself forgave Williams by saying it was “just a comment he shouldn’t have made.”

Here’s Tiger’s full response to the matter:

We talked about it this morning, we met face-to-face, we talked it through and we have agreed it was the wrong thing to say. He did apologise, it was hurtful but we move forward. Steve is not a racist. It was just a comment he shouldn’t have made.
