Now Woods has Joe LaCava on caddying duties.

Scott finally ticked off a major at the 2013 Masters, beating disgraced Angel Cabrera in an epic playoff that also involved fellow Aussie Jason Day at Augusta National.
Williams will be on the bag for Scott for the forthcoming Australian PGA Championship and the Australian Open.
