Adam Scott missing $20m PGA Tour event for an EMBARRASSING reason

Adam Scott has revealed the "embarrassing" reason he is missing the next elevated event on the PGA Tour as he confirmed Tiger Woods' legendary caddie Steve Williams will be on his bag at Riviera. 

Scott told the media after Si Woo Kim won the Sony Open the reason why he is missing the $20m Waste Management Phoenix Open is simply down thinking the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am was played before the stop at TPC Scottsdale. 

PGA Tour players who finished inside the top 20 of the 2022 Player Impact Program are allowed to skip one event that has been given "elevated" status in response to the LIV Golf League.

But otherwise they are committed to every single one. Rory McIlroy has committed to Phoenix. 

Scott, who has recently joined the PGA Tour's Players Advisory Council, told the media:

Last year Scott confirmed Williams - who was on the bag for 13 of Tiger's 15 major championship victories - would be coming out of retirement. 

Williams will share caddying duties with Scott's regular caddie Greg Hearmon. 

Scott continued: 

Scott also paid tribute to Kim after he claimed his fourth PGA Tour victory. 

The Australian, 42, and Kim were part of the International side at last year's Presidents Cup. 

Kim got underneath the skin of Justin Thomas during their singles match.
