Honestly? I wasn’t aware that Chuck and Tiger ever were friends. But apparently they struck up a relationship at some point, and now that relationship is on the scrapheap with Tiger’s golf game.
Barkley told the Mike Missanelli Show on WPEN-FM in Philadelphia that Tiger is just too isolated and anti-social for his own good:
"“We’re not friends anymore,” Barkley said of Woods on Friday, via GolfChannel.com. Barkley went on, responding to Missanelli’s claim that Woods has “too far removed himself from the rest of society.”“Well, I think that when you’re as great as he has been, and this probably is a negative at some point, like he was so consumed with being the greatest golfer ever, he wasn’t a very sociable guy,” Barkley said. “Even when he was a friend of mine, he wasn’t a very sociable guy.“He just had a one-track mind. He just wanted to break Jack Nicklaus’ record.”"
Barkley thinks Tiger’s obsessiveness about golf caused him to develop a negative attitude about his life overall. It sounds like Tiger is just kind of a miserable SOB, and that’s too bad for Tiger. He should have taken a cue from Chuck Barkley and learned how to loosen up.
Chuck Barkley doesn’t sweat much of anything, and that is the correct way to live. Tiger, he just can’t hang.
