Steve Williams, the iconic former caddie for\u00a0Tiger Woods, is confident his former employer will do everything in his power to win one more major championship before retiring. Woods, who has racked up 15 major titles, has endured years of injuries and inconsistent play.<\/p>\n

Aside from a brief resurgence in 2018-2019, he hasn\u2019t been a regular contender for major titles in over a decade and a half. Still, Williams, who was\u00a0Woods\u2019 caddie from 1999 to 2011, asserts that the Californian \u201cis not done yet\u201d.<\/p>\n

He believes that Woods, now 49 years old, is still capable of capturing a 16th major, putting him just two titles away from\u00a0Jack Nicklaus\u2019\u00a0all-time record of 18. \u201cTiger\u2019s still got a task at hand,\u201d Williams told the\u00a0Sky Sports Golf podcast.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cOf course, he\u2019s facing another setback with his injury, but I really believe he won\u2019t let the opportunity to win another major slip through his fingers. He will still be focused on practicing and getting to the point where he can stand on the tee and compete for 72 holes, knowing that he\u2019s given everything to prepare and go for one more major,\u201d Williams added. \u201cHe\u2019s not done yet!\u201d<\/p>\n

Even though Woods has had his share of struggles, Williams\u2019 comments serve as a reminder to golfers like\u00a0Scottie Scheffler\u00a0and\u00a0Rory McIlroy\u00a0that the five-time\u00a0Masters\u00a0champion should never be underestimated. However, they won\u2019t have to worry about him at Augusta this year.<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, Woods\u00a0ruptured his Achilles, causing him to miss the Masters and raising doubts about his ability to compete in the rest of the season\u2019s majors. He\u00a0tricked his fans\u00a0with an April Fools\u2019 post on X, claiming that he had made a miraculous recovery and would be playing at Augusta, only to later admit it was a prank.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t believe I\u2019m saying this, but a few weeks after rupturing my left Achilles, the hyperbaric chamber sleep and explosive lifts my doctors have me doing have me ready to play the Masters next week,\u201d his first post said. He later wrote: \u201cP.S. April Fools, my Achilles is still a mess.\u201d<\/p>\n

Woods hasn\u2019t competed in a\u00a0PGA Tour\u00a0event since last July, when he missed the cut at\u00a0The Open, mirroring his performances at both the\u00a0US Open\u00a0and\u00a0PGA Championship\u00a0earlier in the year. In September, he had micro-decompression surgery on his spine to relieve nerve issues in his lower back, and he had planned to return at The Genesis Invitational in February.<\/p>\n

However, after the passing of his mother, Woods withdrew from that event and focused on preparing for the Masters, only for his Achilles injury to stop his progress in its tracks.<\/p>\n

Woods won 13 of his 15 majors while Williams was on the bag. During a chat on\u00a0The Dom Harvey Podcast, Williams explained that Woods\u2019 relentless drive and unwavering focus were key to his dominance in the 2000s.<\/p>\n

Williams remembered how Woods would never allow himself to bask in his victories, always turning his attention to what came next. Even after his 15-stroke triumph at the 2000 US Open, one of\u00a0golf\u2019s\u00a0most commanding performances, Woods was already thinking ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the very next things he said to me after signing his card was: \u2018Steve, you need to get your ass across the water and get all the details from St Andrews so I can win there as well,\u2019\u201d Williams recalled.<\/p>\n

The Wellington native, who has also worked with stars like\u00a0Adam Scott,\u00a0Greg Norman,\u00a0Raymond Floyd, and\u00a0Jason Day, called Woods the ultimate competitor, whose intensity elevated the stakes of every tournament. For Woods, winning wasn\u2019t a celebration \u2013 it was simply a fulfilment of his expectations.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

This helps explain why Williams is so confident that Woods still has more to give. \u201cNo chance,\u201d he said, after being asked if his career at the top was over following his Achilles injury. His sentiments echo those of many fans, who still believe that one of golf\u2019s favourite sons still has plenty left in the tank.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
