There aren\u2019t many people who know Tiger Woods better than Steve Williams.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Williams<\/a> was right by the side of Woods<\/a> for 13 of his 15 major championships, and the vast majority of his 82 PGA Tour<\/a> wins.<\/p>\n

The man from New Zealand caddied for the 49-year-old from 1999 through to 2011 before their acrimonious split 14 years ago.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Williams recently admitted that he would caddie for Woods again<\/a> if given the chance.<\/p>\n

That is in spite of the fact that the 15-time major champion fired the 61-year-old after he caddied for Adam Scott as a favour in 2011.<\/p>\n

He then took the Australian\u2019s bag on a full-time basis soon after.<\/p>\n

Williams was then forced to apologise to Scott<\/a> after the 2013 Masters champions won the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, and the New Zealander told reporters it was the best win of his life.<\/p>\n

He was accused of stealing the limelight from Scott, something that he vehemently denied.<\/p>\n

Despite all of that, Williams made his name, and the bulk of his fortune, through caddying for Woods, there is no denying that.<\/p>\n

Steve Williams names the golf course Tiger Woods loves the most<\/p>\n

Williams witnessed the vast majority of Woods\u2019 best moments on the golf course throughout his career.<\/p>\n

The 49-year-old has some unbelievable records at certain golf courses.<\/p>\n

He won the Arnold Palmer Invitational eight times, and recorded the same amount of victories at the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s another golf course that is his personal favourite, according to Williams. Oh, and he\u2019s won eight times around there as well by the way!<\/p>\n

When speaking on GOLF\u2019s Subpar Podcast, Williams responded when asked what golf course Tiger would pick to play if he had to win a tournament to save his life.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cTorrey Pines. Obviously at Firestone he had a remarkable record but he just loved Torrey Pines. He had a bit of a fascination with that course because the first time he went to watch a golf tournament was at Torrey Pines, the Junior World was held there a number of times. And he just loved that course. It was a course that he said always suited his eye so when he said that a course suited his eye that was an indication of how much he loved the course.\u201c<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Tiger Woods\u2019 record at Torrey Pines<\/p>\n

He still holds the course record at Torrey Pines South Course, after he fired a 10-under par 62 in the third round of 1999 Buick Invitational.<\/p>\n

His record in San Diego is unrivalled.<\/p>\n

Take a look at Tiger\u2019s truly stunning numbers at Torrey Pines throughout his career.<\/p>\n\nFinishes<\/td>\nWoods\u2019 record at Torrey Pines<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nEvents played<\/td>\n20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nWins<\/td>\n8*<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nTop-5s<\/td>\n12<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nTop-10s<\/td>\n14<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nTop-25s<\/td>\n16<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nCuts made<\/td>\n19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

It\u2019s little wonder why Woods would pick Torrey Pines if he had to win a golf tournament to save his life.<\/p>\n

As Williams said, the golf course suits his eye perfectly, and his record proves just how comfortable he is when playing the William Francis Bell-designed gem.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There aren\u2019t many people who know Tiger Woods better than Steve Williams.
