Tiger Woods and Roger Federer are two legends in their own sports.

They’re both considered by many the best ever to ever pick up a golf club or a tennis racket, respectively. They have countless victories and have both achieved icon status. They also used to be friendly with each.

However, they are no longer as close as they used to be. It’s hard to say whether or not they were ever true, good friends, but they aren’t now. According to the tennis titan, they don’t even speak anymore.

Federer said via Express:

“Yeah, once we used to see each other time-to-time for the Gillette (ad) campaign. Even Nike. But that was rare. It was more about wishing good luck. When he faced problems, he disappeared and changed his number.”

The two athletes used to partner up for ad campaigns as they were sponsored by the same companies. However, in recent years, that has subsided and there’s no connection anymore.

In fact, according to Federer, Woods intentionally disappears. Federer claims that when problems arise, such as his infidelity, car crashes, failed relationships, sexual assault allegations, and more, Woods retreats and changes his phone number.

Being that Federer isn’t in the 15-time major winner’s inner circle, the changed number is a death knell for their contact. Despite all of that, Federer is looking forward to Woods’ return and seeing him play as a healthy golfer:

“Anyway, I am happy that he has come back stronger again. He is doing well again and plays well. I would love to hear from him again, we shared some great memories. He supported me a lot. We enjoyed ourselves with the fight for other Grand Slams.”
