Tiger Woods feels like he needs even more change to his career. After almost 13 years together Tiger Woods drops loyal caddie Steve WIlliams.

Adding to a long list of Tour players who have decided to find a new caddie in the past year: Martin Kaymer, Paul Casey, Dustin Johnson, Adam Scott and Darren Clarke.

Don't feel too bad for Steve Williams, while Tiger has been injured he has been taking on the role of caddie for Australian golfer Adam Scott and according to his website he will continue to do so.

Tiger claimed that the reason for this was that he "needed a change" and so after an era together of highs and lows Williams got the boot. A surprising time the two of them have been through a lot together. It would appear that Tiger is taking a complete overhaul approach to his game, new swing, new swing coach, new caddie, the list seems to go on.

Players change caddies all the time but this has been a shock as Williams was more than a caddie to Woods even though the darker of days. Acting more like Tigers personal bodyguard as well as his faithful caddie. 

So who is next on the bag? We might have to wait until Tiger starts playing again (speculation is it won't be until this August).
