Woods wants to win five points at the Presidents Cup Sep. 7, 2005 By Tiger Woods I’m not really surprised people have second-guessed me for leaving the PGA Championship on Sunday night. It’s me. Everything I do is always critiqued. More so than most players. I lost by two strokes. And I didn’t finish second, either. People have second-guessed me for a lot of different things. They were beating me all over the head last year about my swing changes. Why would you ever want to do something like that? I have absolutely zero second thoughts about flying home on Sunday night. Not with the quality of players that were up there on top of that board. It would have been different if you had guys who had never won a major before. But everyone up there on that board had won a major except for Thomas Bjorn, and he almost won the British Open. I thought the winning score might even be 5 under. Looking at the weather forecast, and how the course was supposed to play in the morning, they said the wind would be no factor. If anything, it might be with the players. That was it. Those guys can make pars coming in. When you looked at the board, they’re not coming back. Not all of them. Maybe one or two of them if something fluky happens. As you may have heard, I’m going to use a new caddie during the Presidents Cup. Steve Williams, my regular caddie, will be in New Zealand for the birth of his first child, so I’m going to use Billy Foster. I’ve known Billy for a long time. He caddied for Darren Clarke for a while and caddied for Seve Ballesteros for a number of years. I really know him through Darren. Darren and I used to play a lot of practice rounds together and I got to know Billy over the years. He’s a great caddie, works awfully hard, and I’ve always gotten along well with him. It will be a fun week. I haven’t talked to Jack Nicklaus about who I might be paired with. I just want to win five points; whatever it takes to win five points. I played with Fred Couples in Australia and we went 1-1. We lost a match 1 down when Craig Parry chipped in from way left of the green. I get along great with Freddie. That would be fun. I really would like to play with Jim Furyk. I’ve never played with Jim. He and I have been on every team together since 1997 and have never played together. Only four players have been on every team since then: Jim, Davis Love III, Phil Mickelson and myself.
