Federer says Woods will be back and at his best soon
ROGER Federer says he's spoken to his friend Tiger Woods on phone and is predicting that the troubled golf great will be back soon "as the wonderful golfer we know."
The record 15-time grand slam winner said in an interview published yesterday that Woods' car accident in November and subsequent reports about his private life have been hard on the golfer and his family.
Federer told French sports daily L'Equipe that he had expressed his support, and said Woods' troubles were "instructive."
"The tabloids are going crazy, sponsor contracts are falling apart ... I've always been aware that the image you patiently construct for an entire career can be ruined in a minute," Federer was quoted as saying. "It scares you a bit, but that's the way things are."
Woods hasn't been seen in public since the accident, and other friends have said they have tried -- unsuccessfully -- to reach him.
"Tiger needs calm. And soon he'll become the wonderful golfer that we know again," Federer said.
Meanwhile, the New York Daily News and rap mogul Russell Simmons claim that Woods is establishing a US$3 million aid donation consisting of doctors and supplies for quake-hit Haiti.
