Williams and Woods at ACCENTURE Match Play
Asked how his frequent flyer profile was looking, Williams just shook his head Wednesday.
"Put it this way," he said. "Qantas has me on speed dial."
When he leaves Miami after this week's Cadillac Championship, Williams already will have flown some 60,000 miles to work four tournaments. In one case, Williams spent more time in the air than his hotel room.
He started in January by flying from Auckland to San Diego for the Farmers Insurance Open and then came back the Auckland-Dubai round trip two weeks later. But the worst of it was the Match Play Championship.
"I stayed in my hotel one night and went home," he said.
Williams arrived in Tucson, Arizona on Tuesday. Woods lost in the first round the next day to Thomas Bjorn, and by evening, Williams was on a flight to Los Angeles to catch a connection back home.
After this week, he will stay two days in Orlando for a made-for-TV exhibition, leaving Tuesday and getting home on Thursday. He'll be home three days before flying back to Orlando for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, then return home after the tournament.
His wife used to come to America for Bay Hill, and they would go somewhere on vacation before the Masters. But with his son in school, Williams goes back to New Zealand for three days before flying to Augusta.
When he gets home after the Masters, he already will have logged nearly 94,000 miles in the air.
