So the speculation begins on who will replace Steve Williams as Tiger Woods’ caddie.

Irish bookmaker Paddy Powers has installed Fanny Sunesson as a 6/4 favorite to replace Williams.

Sunesson, who loops for Henrik Stenson, caddied for Nick Faldo when he won four of his six majors and has been a mental coach to Martin Kaymer, as well.

Others in the mix:
