Tiger Woods Fires Steve Williams: 10 Candidates to Replace Ex-Caddy

Tiger Woods felt that "it was time for a change", and unfortunately for Steve Williams, that "change" Woods was referring to will result in a new caddie.

Woods shocked both the golf world and Williams himself when he announced earlier today on his website that the two would be parting ways after 12 years and over 250 tournaments together.

The Woods-Williams partnership delivered 72 wins and 13 majors between 1999 and 2011, but it's failed to produce a single win in nearly two years, and more importantly—no Majors in over three.

Looking ahead, Woods has yet to say if he'll play in this year's PGA Championship or who would replace Williams, and that's where we come in.

Hopefully, Tiger is reading this as we speak because we think we've got some pretty good suggestions as to who should be carrying his bag moving forward.

Let's take a look... 

10. Arnold Schwarzenegger

After serving as the 38th Governor of California from 2003-2011, Arnold Schwarzenegger should have plenty of free time on his hands to caddie for Tiger Woods.

The two should have plenty to talk about on the golf course considering their recent adulterous affairs and subsequent divorces.

The pair's extremely public infidelities could make for great small talk as Woods is waiting on the tee box.

9. Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga, a diehard Yankees fan, could be an ideal candidate considering she and Woods both support Derek Jeter and the Bronx Bombers.

Don't believe me?  Here is how Tiger answered a fan's email asking him which Major League Baseball team he was cheering for in the 2009 World Series:  

"I grew up in SoCal, so I support those teams. Unfortunately, the Dodgers are out of it, so now I'm cheering for my friend Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees. Unfortunately, I don't get to see him a lot, but when I'm in New York, we always try to meet up."

I can picture it now—Gaga, Jeter, Mika Kelly and Tiger Woods in the VIP section of the hottest nightclub in NYC.

8. Michael Jordan

Talk about a "Dream Team", Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player in NBA history, joins forces with Tiger Woods to help him chase down Jack Nicklaus's record of 18 Major championships.

Quite possibly the two most famous athletes of all time, these two are about one thing and one thing only—winning.

Throw in the fact that one is addicted to gambling and one is addicted to women and you've got a match made in heaven.

7. Charles Barkley

You didn't think we'd forget about Charles did you?  Why wouldn't we pair the best golf swing of all time with the worst golf swing of all time?

Charles would be the perfect caddie because not only would he provide a little comic relief to help Woods relax on the course, he would be a huge confidence boost for Tiger after watching Chuck take a few swings at the driving range.

Maybe they could work out an agreement that Woods will help Barkley pay back all the casinos he owes money to in exchange for letting Tiger laugh as much as he wants at Sir Charles's swing.

6. Elin Nordegren

The ultimate reconciliation.

As part of their divorce settlement, Elin forgives Tiger for all of his infidelities and agrees to be his next caddie.

It could happen.

5. Rachel Uchitel

The most famous of all Woods's mistresses, Rachel Uchitel would serve as the perfect distraction to the other golfers on tour.

This would allow Woods a tremendous advantage in every tournament he enters—especially if she is allowed to caddie in that white bikini.  

4. Charlie Sheen

Why else do you think he calls it "Tiger Blood?"

Assuming Sheen supplies Woods with enough of the magic potion, not only will he help Tiger completely heal his ailing knee, he should have one of his "goddesses" on call should Tiger start to get the itch again...

3. Justin Bieber

Is there any question whatsoever that the Biebs wouldn't be a sweet caddie?  Didn't think so.

Bieber can do so much for Woods in terms of positive publicity, but most importantly, he can provide a huge lift to Tiger's Twitter following.

The numbers don't lie, Bieber has over 11 million Twitter followers compared to Tiger's measly one million.

2. LeBron James

Tiger Woods would be just another guy Prince James could play second fiddle to...

1. Kim Kardashian

Do we really need a reason?

Best.  Caddie.  Ever.
