Adam Scott has taken the step to issue a statement declaring he has accepted the apology of his caddy, Steve Williams following Williams racist comments last week in Shanghai.

ADAM SCOTT STATEMENT –

I take this opportunity to address the comments that were made by my caddy, Steve Williams, at the Annual Caddy Awards Dinner this week in Shanghai, and the subsequent media reporting.

I want it made very clear that I do not support nor condone racism.  I believe there is absolutely no room for racial discrimination in any walk of life, including the game of golf. 

I have discussed this matter directly with Steve and he understands and supports my view on this subject.

I also accept Steve’s apology, knowing that he meant no racial slur with his comments.

On behalf of my team, I apologize personally to everyone that was offended by the reported comments.

Please accept this apology so we can all move on.  

I now consider the matter closed. I will not be making any further comment.
