"Dude, it's a bromance."

Thanks to reader John for S.L. Price's entertaining look at the blooming Tiger-Federer bromance.

The fact that he and Roger Federer text each other "every day" or that Woods actually calls him Fed. Daily communication is one thing, but for Woods the bestowing of a clunky nickname is the supreme sign of acceptance. If the guy ever tees it up with the President, he'll be calling him B.O. by the fourth green.

The second hint came five days later. While on the practice range at the AT&T National, Woods got wind that Federer had just won Wimbledon to break their tie of 14 majors apiece; sent Fed his now-famous "Great job. Now it's my turn" text; and then shot a 67 to win the tournament. By the time Woods next popped up in public, calling Federer "great" and "phenomenal" at the British Open, their symbiosis had sparked an Internet-fueled bedazzlement not seen since ultrahumans Brad and Angelina joined forces. Woods declared that "our texts back and forth have always been jabby—but also extremely supportive of one another—and that's what friends do," and what we had on our hands became clear.

Dude, it's a bromance.
