Over the past 13 years, Tiger Woods had a caddie who became a long-time friend. This weekend, Woods is going to try it the other way around.
Tiger announced his return to the PGA Tour this week after being sidelined for almost three months due to injury. Woods will compete in this weekend's WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, but instead of the usual loud mouth New Zealander, Steve Williams at his side, Tiger will have childhood friend Bryon Bell carrying his clubs and charting his score.
Why does the name Bryon Bell sound familiar?
Why does the name Bryon Bell sound familiar?
Bryon Bell is no stranger to the spotlight, and handling Woods' clubs should be an easy task compared to how he handled Tiger Woods' affairs in 2009.
When news of Woods' unfaithfulness surfaced, Bryon Bell's name came up as the catalyst partially responsible for the destruction that enveloped not only Tiger Woods' life, but the attention of the entire world as well.
Several of Woods' mistresses claimed that Bell was the man who arranged the meetings between them and Tiger and he even booked the flights, as well as the hotel accommodations. Bell allegedly purchased an airline ticket for nightclub manager and television correspondent, Rachel Uchitel, so she could fly to Australia and "hook up" with the world renowned golfer.
Apparently Woods is "loyal," defending Bryon Bell by saying no one within his inner circle of friends knew the extent of his behavior and Bell should not have to deal with such allegations.
With all of the unrest surrounding Tiger Woods' life...messy divorce, new swing coach, losing of endorsements and his caddie, Woods, now ranked No 28, wants to have someone by his side that will make him feel comfortable.
Having an old friend caddie is a regular occurrence on the PGA Tour...on the Wednesday Pro Am...not on Sunday in a PGA Tour tournament.
One thing is for certain, this weekend in Akron, Ohio, all eyes will be watching the world's most popular golfer, Tiger Woods. And now, the world's most popular caddie, Bryon Bell.
Everybody is a nobody...until they are Tiger Woods' caddie.
