Tiger Woods's ex-caddy Steve Williams has made a racist remark about his former employer at a golfing dinner.

Williams, who was sacked by Woods in July, was asked at the HSBC Champions in Shanghai what was behind his over-the-top celebration when his new partner Adam Scott won at Akron in August.

Williams replied: "My aim was to shove it right up that black arsehole."

After Scott's win three months ago, the caddy had said: "I have been caddying for more than 30 years now and that is the best win of my life. A lot has been said and it is great to back it up. I back myself as a frontrunner as a caddie and I have won again."

Since the pair parted company, the Australian has launched a number of scathing attacks on the former world number one over his dismissal.
