The foundation of this friendship was laid long back when Woods was only 14 and he started admiring Jordan. He wanted to become the Michael Jordan of Golf. Years later, the Nike deal turned this admiration into a friendship between the two.
Jordan said, “This bothers him more than anything. It’s a ship he can’t right and he’s never going to. What can you do? The thing is about T-Dub, he cannot erase. That’s what he really wants. He wants to erase the things that happened.”
While talking about Tiger Woods' future Jordan said , “The thing is, I love him so much that I can’t tell him, ‘You’re not gonna be great again.’
Woods proved all speculations wrong with his historical comeback in the 2019 Masters. MJ cheered him on and called this the greatest comeback he has ever seen. He was quick to acknowledge the efforts Woods made and congratulated him for the same.
Tiger played brilliantly at Augusta in 2019 to register an enthralling comeback. He ended the event with an overall score of 13-under-par. As a result, he won with a narrow one-shot lead. Moreover, the golf legend carded a final round of two-under-par 70 to finish on the top of the leaderboard.
