Adam Scott ascended to the top of the Official World Golf Ranking this week without hitting a shot. Scott has steadily risen up the world ranking since his win at the 2010 Valero Texas Open and since hiring Steve Williams as his caddie in 2011.

Scott overtook Tiger Woods, who is recuperating from back surgery and has not played since before the Masters. Woods surpassed Rory McIlroy in March 2013 and had been the No. 1-ranked player for the past 60 weeks.

Woods has held the No. 1 spot for over 13 years in his career, and Steve Williams was his caddie for most of that time. Williams became Woods' caddie in March 1999, and Woods fired him in July 2011. He was on Woods’ bag for 13 of his 14 major titles.

While Woods was recuperating from injury in the summer of 2011, Williams signed on to carry Scott’s bag in the U.S. Open and the Open Championship.

When Woods returned to the tour at the AT&T National in late July, he fired Williams, and Williams was promptly picked up by Scott.

Williams was on the bag when Scott beat Angel Cabrera to win the 2013 Masters. Now, Williams has helped Scott ascend to World No. 1.

At what point do we accept the fact that the caddie may have a role in helping his guy play great golf and achieve his maximum potential?

Williams also caddied for Raymond Floyd and Greg Norman when those players were in their primes.

It begs the question, should Steve Williams be considered for the World Golf Hall of Fame?

Does a caddie get to share in his player’s success, or does it all fall to the player?

No other caddie has been as prominent in the top moments in golf history as Williams has been.  He demands the best effort from his player and always gives 100 percent.

Woods, in a fit of pique and feeling betrayed by his longtime caddie, probably made a mistake letting him go in 2011.
