LOS ANGELES — Steve Williams has worked with Tiger Woods for a decade, but the caddie insists he knows nothing about the alleged extracurricular activities of the world’s No. 1 golfer.
“I do not have any personal knowledge of anything in the reports related to the Tiger Woods’ stories,” said Williams in a statement to the New Zealand Herald. “[My wife] Kirsty and I give our heartfelt wishes to Tiger, Elin, Sam and Charlie and hope this gets put to rest soon.”
Woods, 33, has been under the microscope ever since a single-car accident outside his home on Nov. 27. The accident came two days after the National Enquirer published a story alleging that the PGA star was having an affair with a New York nightclub manager named Rachel Uchitel.
Since the first affair allegation, several more women have stepped forward claiming to have engaged in sexual trysts with Woods, including former VH1 Tool Academy contestant Jaimee Grubbs.
Last week, Woods admitted to “transgressions,” but did not elaborate in a statement released on his Web site.
“I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart,” he said. “I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.”
