New Zealander Steve Williams will caddy for Adam Scott in next week's AT&T National golf tournament.

Williams usually caddies for Tiger Woods but he is sideline with an injury so Scott asked his mate to step in for him. But Woods need not be worried Scott will try to keep Williams.

"He is Tiger's guy and that's how it is," Scott told the Washington Post.

"He's been a good friend to me, a bit of a confidant in my career. I thought it would be worth a call seeing as I'm between guys at the moment.

"I'm glad he hopped on a plane and came over - got to make the most of him."
