Michael Jordan, Who Was Best Pals With Tiger Woods, Once Made an Uncanny Statement About the Golfer’s Failed Marriage

Tiger Woods does not have many close friends in the world of sports. The 15-time major winner has made tons of records and has millions of fans. But only a few people have been able to get close to the legend; one of them is the NBA great, Michael Jordan. But despite their history of strong friendship, Jordan once made unexpected statements about Woods and his broken marriage.

Michael Jordan said Tiger Woods would never be great again!

Tiger Woods has had a rough personal life throughout his golfing years. Despite his amazing performances on the field, his days off the field have always been challenging. And one of the biggest turning point in his life was when he got divorced from Elin Nordegren. Woods had to take a break from professional golf for some time to work on his mental health after the split.
