The seasoned caddie recently joined the RickSheilsGolfShow where he shared a memorable ‘bathroom incident’ involving Woods.
During that period, Foster was caddying for Team Europe at the Ryder Cup, and just moments before Woods’ tee time, the golf legend needed a bathroom break.
“It was Ryder Cup 2002. First match, first morning, was Darren Clarke and Thomas Bjorn playing Tiger Woods and Paul Azinger. So l go into the toilets. There’s C.B. Y. Davis Love’s caddie in there. ‘Morning, Cubby.’ ‘Morning, Billy.'”.
“So I sit down, trousers around the ankles, look across-oh my god, no toilet paper. Full reverse across the corridor to trap two. Sit down. Look behind me-20 rolls of toilet paper on the shelf behind,” Foster recounted. Foster soon realized that Woods had entered the stall without toilet paper, just moments before he was due to tee off.

“Now I’m using the excess toilet paper, I’m drying my eyes ’cause I’m crying, crying ’cause like there’s six minutes to tee off here now or something like that, and I’m the only man in the world that knows that Jesus is in there with no toilet paper,” Foster shared.
“So I’ve gone back, rolled up about 20 sheets, and I’ve gone down on my hands and knees under his toilet door. And whoever’s in there, I said, ‘You might be needing this.’ As I walked out, I went, ‘You’re one up’.
“And sure enough, they beat them one up. And he came out with the biggest smile on his face and said, ‘Billy, I owe you big time’.”
Foster began caddying for Fitzpatrick in 2019 and has also worked with several other prominent Europeans. During his tenure with Fitzpatrick, they secured two PGA Tour victories and four on the DP World Tour, as well as a major title at the 2022 U.S. Open.
