‘I’ve Never Seen a Guy Hit More Bad Tee Shots…’: Ex-caddie Makes a Shocking Tiger Woods Revelation
Every golfer feels the pressure of the first tee shot. The pressure is not only handled by an amateur but also by the professionals competing at the highest level. Tiger Woods’ former caddie spoke about the same and revealed something genuinely incredible about his game.
Tiger and Steve have shared a strong bond throughout the time they were together as caddie and professional. Moreover, the 15-time major championship winner had Williams on the back caddying for him from 1999 till 2011. Woods also achieved what is known as the Tiger slam in golf when Woods won all the three majors in 2001 under Steve’s guidance.
Steve Williams opens up about Tiger Woods’ nervousness
The veteran caddie recently spoke about how Woods felt nervous while hitting the first tee shot. Willams talked about how Tiger would feel nervous on the first tee box of an event due to his will to win. Moreover, Williams spoke about Tiger’s first-tee pressure in the latest episode of the podcast, Chasing Majors. He talked about Tiger’s first hole hiccup at 2006 Open at Royal Liverpool. At the same time, he talks about his nervousness associated with the opening hole.
Steve said, “You know, Tiger, amazingly, can be as nervous as anyone I’ve ever seen. And he can hit, I would say, of all the professional golfers that I’ve worked for in my career, I’ve never seen a guy hit more bad tee shots off the first hole this guy does because he gets so nervous.”

He added, “And why does he get nervous because he cares so much about his performance. And often he just want to get that first ball inside the golf course somewhere off the first tee just get it off the tee somewhere, find it, and hit it again. So it was no surprise when he could bogey the first hole.”
Williams’ words prove that even probably the best professionals can get nervous. Moreover, it demonstrates how Tiger focuses on playing a nice shot every time he hits the golf ball. It is just truly incredible to hear.
When did Tiger last win a major championship?
The World Golf Hall of Fame member won his last major in 2019. Woods emphatically won the 2019 Masters to register his 15th major championship victory. Moreover, the 82-time PGA Tour winner won the event with an overall score of 13-under-par. As a result, he won the event with a narrow one-shot lead after the final round on Sunday. His win at Augusta back in 2019 was his first major championship victory in almost 11 years.
On top of that, Woods carded a final round of two-under-par, 70 to seal his win. His final round of 70 included three birdies and two bogeys on the back nine. As a result, the golf legend moved out in one-under-par, 35. He made the same score on the back nine on route to winning his fifth Masters title and, in turn, talking him just one win shy of equalling Jack Nicklaus’ record for most green jackets.
