Golf: Caddie Williams to turn commentator

Caddie Steve Williams will turn commentator for this month's US$2.6 million ($4.04 million) Kiwi Challenge golf event.

The made-for-TV event features Australian Adam Scott and Americans Hunter Mahan, Anthony Kim and Brandt Snedeker competing for the US$1.5 million winner's purse at Kauri Cliffs course in Northland and at Cape Kidnappers in the Hawke's Bay on consecutive days.

"This is my first experience at this," said Williams who mans world No 1 Tiger Woods' bag.

"I'm doing this because the Kiwi Challenge will bring great exposure for New Zealand and give New Zealanders the opportunity to see four of the world's best players in one group."

The Kiwi Challenge will be held on October 27-28.
