It was oft repeated during Tiger Woods’ peak years as a golfer that the highest paid sportsperson in New Zealand was Steve Williams .

Williams caddied for Woods from 1999 to 2011 and was on the bag for 13 of his 15 Major titles. Williams, as Tiger’s caddie, received a percentage of Woods’ winnings.

Williams, who was born in Wellington in December 1963, had taken up golf as a young child, and had got his handicap down to 2 by the time he was 13. He also caddied a lot and, also by age 13, had realised that he enjoyed this more than playing. You may like
