Enter Byron Bell, Woods' longtime friend from childhood who will be taking over bag duties for the illustrious and recently tarnished golfer. For better or worse, Bell has already demonstrated his loyalty to Woods during the whole affair fallout by helping cover up Woods' illicit extracurricular activities.

When Tiger's world began to crumble, it was Bell who's name came up repeatedly as the middle-man who was responsible for arranging the meetings, payoffs, flights, and accommodations with Woods' many women.

Now, Bell will be carrying Tiger's clubs instead of his secrets. Bell has caddied for Woods before on isolated events, including the 2005 Funai Classic at Walt Disney World and Woods's third US Amateur championship in 1996.
