Adam Scott, the current employer of Steve Williams, has issued a statement regarding Williams's racist remarks towards former employer Tiger Woods.
"Steve issued a statement and apologised, he did the right thing. That's all there is to say about that from my side of things.
"It's not an issue for me, I think everything in that room last night was all in good spirits and a bit of fun and I think it probably got taken out of that room in the wrong context.
"Anything with Tiger involved is a story, I value Steve's contribution to my game and while he is caddying I hope he can caddy for me."
Williams's position with Scott has been brought into question since the incident but the Australian golfer says there is no issue.
He added: "It's been dealt with as far as I'm concerned.
"I thought it was all in jest, that's how the whole evening was, everything was quite amusing."
The pair are currently taking part in the WGC-HSBC Champions Event in Shanghai where Scott lies three shots off the lead heading into the final round.
