What about Tiger's caddie?
Tiger Woods is out for the season recovering from knee surgery, so that means his caddie, Steve Williams, is out of work. Caddies are generally paid about 7% to 10% of a player's winnings, so Williams will miss out on six figures worth of salary in the absence of Woods. As caddies are a close-knit group, Williams' fellow loopers decided to take up a collection for their now unemployed colleague. At the Travelers Championship three weeks ago, they posted a sign asking for donations to the "Steve Williams Benevolent Fund." Apparently they figured Williams didn't need much help because the donation jar was a shot glass.

This is plain stupid. I think SI posted this debate (How is it "Truth or Rumor?" that we all know willie isn't dirt poor) just to get people to complain about the obvious. The caddie of Tiger gets around 10% of the winnings of every tourney, plus all the cars that Tiger doesn't raffle off for his charities. Williams is a millionaire by now if he knows what to do with his money. If he isn't by now, he's a fool like SI.

You people don't get it !!! He is on a salary - he is not only his caddy but pep coach and much more - good for a mil. a year whether Tiger is on the course or not. He is Tiger's "binky" !!!

T&R is really stretching to find Tiger stories. They are paranoid that the Gold section will dry up completely if they don't run at least 2 Tiger stories a day.

Williams also gets about 500k each year from NIKE as part of tigers endorsement package so I dont think he has much to worry about

I remember reading before that Steve Williams is the highest paid athlete in New Zealand...and I am guessing that includes Scott Dixon (IndyCar driver) and all of their rugby and soccer players.
I particularly like how the donation jar was a shot glass. Nice to see that the caddies haven't lost their sense of humor.

Trainwreck wrote that Williams is the highest paid "athlete" in New Zealand. So, now caddies are athletes too?

VERY FUNNY NEVADA,
CADDIES HAVE TO CARRY THOSE HEAVY BAGS AND WALK ALL DAY LONG... IF YOU ARE NOT PHYSICALLY FIT THEN YOU CAN'T DO IT.
NOW, AS FAR AS THE CHOKE CHOKE MEISTER PHIL MICKELSON, HIS CADDY IS ALSO ATHLETIC, BECAUSE HE HAS TO WALK AND CARRY THE LOAD TWICE AS MUCH...
