Tiger Woods’ ex-caddie leaves Adam Scott for LPGA Tour
Steve Williams, Tiger Woods’ erstwhile caddie who most recently looped for Adam Scott, is taking his skills to the LPGA Tour.

Adam Rolston, a 28-year-old former rugby player, and Ron Rutland, his friend and caddy for the course, kicked off the 80-day golf odyssey at the base camp of Khüiten Peak on the most western point of Mongolia with a goal of raising $100,000 for children's sport charities.
