The long-time caddie of Tiger Woods, Steve Williams, has given a rare glimpse into the elite mindset of the 15-time Major winner in a new podcast series called “Chasing Majors.”

The Kiwi was associated with Woods during his prime years before they split in 2011, so, he knows him better than most. In a recent interaction with the Australian Golf Digest writer and podcast host Evin Priest, the 58-year-old detailed one of the aspects of Woods’ character that placed him ahead and shoulders above all.

“One of the things I admire most about Tiger—I admired a lot of things about him—but one thing I absolutely admired about Tiger is that at the completion of a tournament you’d into the scorer’s hut and you sign your scorecard and you hand it in,” Williams said.

“Tiger never, ever looked at prize money sheet”

Steve further went on to mention that the veteran American golfer never, ever once took a look at the sheet with prize money allocation for everybody unlike all. The California native Woods always played to win trophies and create records but not for the money.

“And they always have a sheet with the prize money allocation for everybody so you can look up on the screen to see how you finished and look down and see how much you won. Tiger never, ever once took a look at that. . . . He played to win trophies and create records, not for prize money.

“He’s the only player I’ve ever caddied for, the only player I’ve ever seen who never, ever looked at that sheet. OK, you could argue he didn’t need to look at that sheet, but every player looks at that sheet, and he never did,” he signed off.
