WELLINGTON, New Zealand - New Zealand caddie Steve Williams says he plans to retire but will consider offers of part-time work next year and would team up with former boss Tiger Woods, if asked.Two weeks ago, Williams ended a 3-1/2 year association with Adam Scott during which Scott rose to become the worlds top-ranked golfer and the first Australian to win the Masters. The 50-year-old Williams told Fairfax Media on Thursday he wants to reduce his caddying to spend more time with family in New Zealand.He said he is 90 per cent certain its going to be a permanent break from caddying but he will consider working part-time in 2015.Asked if he would be prepared to work with Woods again, Williams said hes definitely someone Id consider.Hes a tremendous talent, but its hard to say right now because its only two weeks since Ive hung up the clubs, Williams said.The 11-year professional and personal relationship between Williams and Woods ended in 2011 with some acrimony. Williams said they had met occasionally on tour since, though Woods recent injuries meant they had not seen each other often.He said his move to scale down his caddying wasnt a tough decision.At the end of the day, Ive known in the back of my head that retirement or taking a break from caddying was on the horizon. Ive done it for 36 years, he said.I just came to the decision that its time to take a break. It allows me to spend summer here in New Zealand and spend more time with my family.Williams, who has a wife and a 9-year-old son, didnt expect finding work to be a problem.Ive already had a couple of offers to caddy, but Im not sure thats what I want to do, he said, adding that he was exploring other opportunities.

NEW YORK -- Roger Goodell will make his first public statements in more than a week about the rash of NFL players involved in domestic violence when he holds a news conference Friday. The NFL commissioner will address the leagues personal conduct policy. The league has faced increasing criticism it has not acted quickly or emphatically enough concerning the domestic abuse cases. His last public appearance was at a high school in North Carolina on Sept. 10. The commissioner and some NFL teams have been heavily criticized for lenient or delayed punishment of Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and other players involved in recent domestic violence cases. Less than three weeks into the season, five such cases have made headlines, the others involving Greg Hardy, Ray McDonald and Jonathan Dwyer. Vikings star running back Peterson, Carolina defensive end Hardy and Arizona running back Dwyer are on a special commissioners exemption list and are being paid while they go through the legal process. McDonald, a defensive end for San Francisco, continues to practice and play while being investigated on suspicion of domestic violence. As these cases have come to light, such groups as the National Organization of Women and league partners and sponsors have come down hard on the NFL to be more responsive in dealing with them. Congress aalso is watching to see how the NFL reacts.dddddddddddd In response to the criticism, the NFL announced it is partnering with a domestic violence hotline and a sexual violence resource centre. Goodell sent a memo to the clubs late Thursday announcing the partnerships. The league will provide financial, operational and promotional support to the National Domestic Violence Hotline and the National Sexual Violence Resource Center. "These commitments will enable both the hotline and NSVRC to help more people affected by domestic violence and sexual assault," Goodell said in the memo. The National Domestic Violence Hotline provides domestic violence victims and survivors access to a national network of resources and shelters. It is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week in 170 languages. Goodell noted that the hotline received 84 per cent more calls from Sept. 8-15, and the organization said more than 50 per cent of those calls went unanswered because of lack of staff. "The hotline will add 25 full-time advocates over the next few weeks that will result in an additional 750 calls a day being answered," he said. NSVRC supports sexual violence coalitions across the United States. The NFLs initial support will be directed toward state coalitions to provide additional resources to sexual assault hotlines. ' ' '
