The New Zealander was lured out of retirement to be on Scott’s bag for the next two weeks at the PGA Championship being played at Royal Queensland in Brisbane and the Australian Open at the Kingston Heath Golf Cup in Melbourne.
In 2023, Scott wants to have Williams and Greg Hearmon, Scott’s regular caddie, share the bag.
“For me it’s exciting to work again with Steve and see if we can rediscover the magic,” Scott told Golf Digest.
“As a player, you experience different points in your career. Right now on the PGA Tour is a time of change, and I’m adjusting to it.
“Having Steve and Greg doing a job share is going to help me get everything I need and that’s to be fresh at the biggest events.”
After briefly holding the World No 1 title in 2014, Scott is hungry to try and win a second major championship next year.
“My goal is to win majors; I had a good run with Steve in the majors and we did win the Masters, but it’s about getting an overall balance for what I need to perform in the biggest events,” Scott said.
Williams was at a point in his life where he was keen to have a “dabble” again so he was thrilled to get the call-up.
“The time I spent caddying for Adam was very memorable; helping him becoming the first Australian to win at Augusta,” Williams told Golf Digest.
“I feel Adam is in a good shape with his game, and I’m fresh having not caddied for a few years, so I’ll bring a lot of enthusiasm.
“I’ve always said to Adam and to others, to be remembered as one of the great players, you have to win multiple majors. The opportunity to try and get Adam major No 2 and elevate himself to a special group of players in history, would be a privilege.”
