Tiger's caddie bags extra air miles

Tiger Woods' caddie Steve Williams doesn't mind a bit of travel

Tiger Woods' caddie Steve Williams doesn't mind a bit of travel. When Woods opted to take a week off and miss last month's Bob Hope Classic, Williams decided to jet home to New Zealand for a little R&R. He returned to California last week to carry Tiger's bag in the Nissan Open before flying off to Dubai for the Desert Classic. He now plans to head back to New Zealand after Dubai before arriving in Florida for Bay Hill and The Players' Championship later this month. Expensive? Not when you have 1.2 million frequent flyer miles.
