Tiger Woods has revealed former caddie Steve Williams apologised to him following a racist comment made by the New Zealander at a recent dinner

Steve Williams was clearly enraged by Tiger Woods’ decision to part company with him earlier this year, with the former world number one opting for a clean break after years of success with the Kiwi caddie starting in 1999.

Williams has subsequently become the caddie for Adam Scott, although it hasn’t stopped him from making disparaging remarks about Woods, the latest of which was a racist comment made at an awards ceremony in Shanghai on 4 November.

However, to his credit, Tiger Woods has held a face-to-face meeting with Williams in the ensuing days and received an apology from his former assistant, with the golfer stressing in a press conference that the New Zealander is not a racist.

"We met face-to-face and talked about it, talked it through. Obviously it was a wrong thing to say. Something that we both acknowledge now and we are moving forward. Obviously. He did apologise, it was hurtful, certainly, but life goes forward," Woods said.

"Stevie's certainly not racist, there's no doubt about that. I think it was a comment that shouldn't have been made and certainly one that he wished he didn't make," he said.
