To this day, no one knows why the friendship between Tiger Woods and Charles Barkley abruptly ended. The two superstars were close friends for a decade and suddenly in 2009, Woods just stopped talking to his old friends, including Barkley. And Chuck made an infamous comment about Tiger Woods and how he should have dealt with the situation.

Barkley and Woods met through mutual friends when Tiger just became a superstar. Charles and Michael Jordan were very close, and they loved to play golf. Woods liked to hang out with NBA players and the trio shared a great bond with each other.

However, it all came to an end in 2009 when Woods’ personal life came crashing down.

Charles Barkley says he would have understood if Tiger Woods just gave him a call

Since 2009, Chuck says he hasn’t spoken to Woods. And after being concerned about it for some time, Chuck finally got over it and moved on. But he still says he expects to hear from Woods one day. Charles says, “Like I said, he could have called me and said, ‘I’m trying to get back with my wife and I’m getting rid of all my friends,’ and I would have said, ‘OK, cool, bro. I totally understand it.”
