Why did Tiger Woods stop talking to his long-time friend Michael Jordan?

Woods was very close friends with Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley. They became friends by playing in celebrity events and mixing off the court. Woods was considered to be the greatest golfer ever and Jordan was considered to the best basketball player. But in 2009, after Wood’s personal life story poured in the public, their relationship changed and their bond crashed n Woods’ life came crashing down.

Jordan says that Woods was too concerned with what others thought of him. And he lost contact with him in that way. Barkley said that he hasn’t heard from Woods since 2009. He says, “I could understand if he was trying to get back with his wife at the time and she said, ‘Hey, get rid of all your old friends,’ and he called and said, ‘This is the situation.’I would’ve understood that. But I just wish he would have been man enough to call and say that. To just disappear totally was disappointing.”
