Given the circumstances of the past 18 months working through Tiger\u2019s coach, a new coach and with it a major swing change, I am very disappointed to end our very successful partnership at this time.\u201d During Woods\u2019s absence from the game, which began when he aggravated knee ligament damage at the Masters, Williams caddied three times for Australia\u2019s Adam Scott. After confirmation of the split, that partnership is to be permanent.<\/p>\n<p>Woods, who did not name an immediate replacement for Williams, said: \u201cI want to express my deepest gratitude to Stevie for all his help, but I think it\u2019s time for a change. Stevie is an outstanding caddie and has been instrumental in many of my accomplishments. I wish him great success for the future.\u201d Woods has reached a moment of crisis in his career. He has not contested a tournament since pulling out of the Players Championship in May, when he played the first nine holes in 42, and has fallen to No 20 in the world rankings having once held the top spot for a record 281 weeks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<p>PFP Sports and Celebrity Talent Agency is a speakers bureau and top booking agent for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.playingfieldpromotions.com\">sports speakers<\/a>, <a title=\"golf speakers\" href=\"http:\/\/www.playingfieldpromotions.com\/sports-speakers\/golf.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">golf speakers<\/a>, athlete appearances, endorsement deals and celebrity bookings.
