When I went to work with Tiger, I considered myself to be reasonably fit and he gave me a whole different perspective for what being fit was. So yeah, I got it. He put me through some rigorous workouts and sometimes I had to say, look, I'm done now, Tiger. I'll meet you in the car when you're finished. He's a pretty strong dude.
Look, when you've caddied for as long as I've caddied, I guess it's just kind of ingrained in you. Basically, I started as a kid at my local golf course here in New Zealand, sort of eight or nine years old, caddying every single weekend, 36 holes a day to the point where, and then I caddied for 40 plus years on the tour. So,
is something that you'll always be inclined to view things from a carry's perspective, not from a player's perspective, I guess.
Yeah, possibly, yeah.
Well, I think you'd have to say it's a zero because I've never used an Uber. That is a private car.
I drive myself everywhere. I haven't had the pleasure of having to use an Uber yet. And if I have used one, my wife would have booked it for me because I don't carry apps on my phone. So I'm a bit old school.
Well, we only really had one heated exchange and it was at Augusta in 2003. Tiger got to the third hole at Augusta. The tee was positioned at the front of the tee, which made it possible where you could drive the green. And I'd been out in the course earlier that morning and
told them on the practice fairway that they'd moved the tee up on the third hole so sometimes the third hole was an iron off the tee to keep it short of the bunkers and sometimes you hit a driver to get over the bunkers depending on where the wind is and where the hole location is but on this particular day the tee was moved up so the bunkers were in play there's no doubt in my mind it was a driver he didn't like the play I couldn't see why he didn't like the play I talked him into it he hit an absolute shit shot
And fanned way out to the right and eventually made a bogey on a hole that, you know, you should make three, four at the worst. And that possibly, you know, stopped the momentum that he had after starting with 4-4 and, you know, didn't do any good in the tournament in the end. And he carried on like an absolute pork chop for the next few holes. You know, like a little sour baby, whatever.
And then on the ninth hole, I just actually let it rip. It's the first time I've done that since I started with him. Just gave him an absolute mouthful and a bollocking about his behavior and the way he was carrying on and that.
that was all good and then um yeah when we completed the round he um said hey thanks very much for the pep talk up nine and everything so yeah but like we got on like a house on fire when i was working from i think that was the only time that we ever had any kind of you know really heated argument it was unfortunate it was during the round of a major championship but
When I came up the 18th hole, I thought, well, this might be the last time I'm going to Tiger. He either liked it or what I said, or he absolutely hated what I said. So, yeah, he was very good about it. So we laughed about that for a little bit.
Just basically not afraid to voice your opinion, you know, straight up sort of bloke and that. And, you know, when there's something, a lot on the line, not scared to voice your opinion and, you know, try and sway a player your way or, you know, whatever it might be.
But just basically, you know, I think you'll find the common trait amongst all the best carriers are guys that are prepared to stand up and not be afraid to be wrong. Obviously, when it comes down to the crux of major championships and golf tournaments and that, and there's a lot on the line,
it's very easy just to be what we call a yes man and just agree with the player because some guys are afraid to be wrong, but you can't ever be afraid to be wrong. If you can speak up and voice your opinion, you're going to be successful.
No, you don't call out your workmates, that's for sure.
Well, I mean, I think that's a staggering statement to make. I mean, look, if a player won three major championships in no other tournaments and a player won one major championship in 20 tournaments, the guy that's won three major championships gets a nod in everybody's book. So I don't know what he was basing that on. But, you know, I guess it's above a comment. Some guys... Thank you very much.
Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you for watching. Thank you very much.
I didn't know what was going on pregame because there was a video with no sound. I was wondering what was happening. Miami is a great place to live and some people don't ever seem too amped up around here. They're living the good life. It really wasn't that rabid of an environment. It was typical Miami.

Well, it was hard to write. I mean, you know, while I was at The Washington Post, Jeff Bezos was a really good owner. He gave us our independence. He supported us. He defended us against Donald Trump, all the threats that he received. of reprisals and all of that, he stood behind us. So it was difficult for me to write now that I've become incredibly, well, more than disappointed.
