"Tiger Woods has ended one of his longest relationships: With his caddie of 13 years, Steve Williams.\r\nConfirming what many golf fans have suspected for months, Woods said in a statement on his website Wednesday: &amp;quot;I want to express my deepest gratitude to Stevie for all his help, but I think it&amp;apos;s time for a change.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nWilliams worked with Woods, 35, as he racked up 13 of his 14 big-time championships.  He has been working with another pro, Adam Scott, since Woods&amp;apos; recent injury took him out of the sport. &amp;quot;Stevie is an outstanding caddie and a friend and has been instrumental in many of my accomplishments. I wish him great success in the future.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nBut Williams -- who stood by Woods during his disastrous 2009 adultery scandal and 2010 divorce -- wasn&amp;apos;t exactly pleased with the news.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;After 13 years of loyal service needless to say this came as a shock,&amp;quot; Williams wrote on his own website. &amp;quot;Given the circumstances of the past 18 months working through Tiger&amp;apos;s scandal, a new coach and with it a major swing change and Tiger battling through injuries I am very disappointed to end our very successful partnership at this time. I have had the opportunity to work of late for Australian Adam Scott and will now caddy for him on a permanent basis.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
