    Well the way I look at it Williams has collected more money on the pro circuit than Woods has the last 2 years. And while he may have made plenty of money working for Woods he did contribute a million dollars to a cancer center in New Zealand. He's probably give more to charity than Woods whose had to pay off his exwife for his whoring around.

    Tiger was set to be the greatest ever, with a lot of fans including me. Now he's roundly disliked, has lost his mojo and is unlikely to win another major or catch Jack or even Sam Snead. He's physically and mentally done...how long till the Sr Tour? Everybody taking their shots, does he have any friends left in GOLF?

    Woods obvious character flaws aside, Williams is once again trying to profit off his former employers downfall. And this time he is trying to characterize himself as a slave?

    I might be tempted to buy his book if he portayed himself honestly; as the sensationalist profiteer that he is. If his life with Tiger was so miserable , so devoid of respect then why did he not quit earlier?

    This year Woods earned only $600K on the Tour but another $50 million in endorsements. His Foundation scores much higher than most with .86 cents of every dollar finding its mark. While rumored to be a lousy tipper, his personal charitable donations are rumored to be north of $30 million in addition to the much higher number his foundation donates.

    Woods injured himself. He couldn't play on tour for a long time. Williams had the opportunity to carry for other golfers. Woods like a jealous lover resented Williams working for anyone else. (Of course generous Tiger wasn't paying him while he wasn't playing.) In short, Woods treated him like his property (slave?) If Williams has some interesting stories his book will be successful. I'd buy it before I purchased a product because Tiger endorsed it.
