Mickelson, 54, and Woods were originally friends in the early part of Tiger’s illustrious career.
But the pair fell out off the course, resulting in one of golf’s greatest personal rivalries.
Woods, a fifteen-time Major champion, was one of the first advocates for fitness regimes in golf.
An avid weight lifter, the 49-year-old was the complete opposite to Mickelson’s more laid-back approach to his health.

Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now is set to air later this year.
Ozzy was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2003 before being diagnosed with Parkinsonian syndrome in 2007.
In 2020 he confirmed he was living with a “mild form” of Parkinson’s disease.
Filming began in early 2022 during sessions for his thirtieth album Patient Number 9.
Ozzy said: “The last six years have been full of some of the worst times I’ve been through.
“There’s been times when I thought my number was up. But making music and making two albums saved me. I’d have gone nuts without music.
“My fans have supported me for so many years, and I really want to thank them and say a proper goodbye to them. That is what the Villa Park show is about.”
Sharon said: “This film is an honest account of what has happened to Ozzy during the last few years.
“It shows how hard things have been for him and the courage he has shown while dealing with a number of serious health issues, including Parkinson’s.
“It’s about the reality of his life now. We have worked with a production team we trust and have allowed them the freedom to tell the story openly. We hope that story will inspire people that are facing similar issues to Ozzy.”
Speaking to The Sun earlier this month Sharon confirmed Ozzy can no longer walk.
Sharon said: “Parkinson’s is a progressive disease. It’s not something you can stabilise. It affects different parts of the body and it’s affected his legs.
“But his voice is as good as it’s ever been.”
Ozzy, 76, who is due to move back to the UK next month, also talked on his Sirius XM radio show in the US about his condition.
He said: “I have made it to 2025. I can’t walk, but you know what I was thinking over the holidays? For all my complaining, I’m still alive.
“I may be moaning that I can’t walk but I look down the road and there’s people that didn’t do half as much as me and didn’t make it.”.

2 weeks agoNews 1Comments Off on Apple ‘building top-secret iPhone’ that looks unlike ANY other phone – and you won’t have to wait long
APPLE is reportedly building a top-secret iPhone with a design twist that no other mobile has.
The handset is rumoured to have been in development for years – and might be nearly ready for release.

GoogleApple could release an iPhone that looks more like the Google Pixel Fold[/caption]
Recent leaks suggest that Apple is quietly developing its first foldable iPhone.
It would mean Apple joining some of its biggest smartphone rivals that have already released folding mobiles – including Samsung, Huawei, and Google.
Folding phones have the advantage of having giant screens that can be folded inwards, allowing it to still fit in your pocket.
Now Apple is expected to release its own version, which is tipped to the world’s first foldable phone with no crease on the screen.
That’s according to Korean industry publication ETNews, which says that Apple will have finished picking suppliers by April.
And it reports that Apple will start manufacturing the parts for the phone in the second half of 2025.
Then, the gadget would be expected to release in the second half of 2026 – probably in September, alongside the expected iPhone 18.
It would give Apple the edge over the iPhone’s foldable rivals, all of which have creases in the middle of the screen.
“Apple has decided to eliminate the crease at all costs,” said an industry insider speaking to ETNews.
“Regardless of price, to differentiate its foldable phone from existing models.
“It is believed that a new material property has been developed to make the crease disappear.”
The company reportedly building the screens for Apple’s foldable gadget is rumoured to be Samsung Display.
That might sound odd, but Samsung Display (which makes screens) and Samsung Mobile (which makes the phones) are both separate divisions of Samsung Electronics.
And Samsung Display has provided screens for Apple gadgets for years now.

Sadly there’s no guarantee on an exact release date.
But prolific Apple leaker and Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman recently said that Apple is looking at “finishing up development of its first foldable device for 2026”.
Several other leaks have also pointed to 2026 or 2027 releases for the long-rumoured gadget.
Of course Apple hasn’t confirmed any official plans for a foldable phone.
DO WE NEED A FOLDABLE IPHONE?
Here’s what The Sun’s tech editor Sean Keach has to say…
How badly do you want a foldable phone? Unless you’re a tech geek, you probably never even think about it.
I am a tech geek – and I hardly give it thought.
Of course, foldable phones are a good idea if perfectly executed.
After all, there’s nothing wrong with wanting a phone that can have both a regular screen and giant one too – but still fit in your pocket.
The problem is that there are so many trade-offs.
You’ll have to deal with a big old crease down the middle of the screen.
And foldable phones so often end up very thick, or long, or both.
That’s not to mention the price of foldable phones, which often cost hundreds more than their regular counterparts.
Wallets are strained under the growing cost of life, not to mention tech and subscriptions – so new gadgets needs to feel very useful to justify forking out extra.
So until a company can resolve at least some of these problems with foldable phones, they’ll struggle to reach the mainstream in the way that regular phones have.
Apple is often brilliant at making things catch on, even if it’s not always first across the line.
And if Apple can solve at least the creasing issue – and maybe the thickness problem too – then it could make foldable phones more desirable.
Maybe I’ll finally be converted.
For now, I’m sticking with tapping my flat slab of metal and glass.
And it won’t even reveal details of its 2025 iPhone launch event until a week or two before the big day.
FOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE
Meanwhile Apple’s rivals have raced ahead on the foldables phone front.
The battle kicked off in late 2018 with Chinese start-up Royole’s folding Flexpai.

But it didn’t grab mainstream attention until the Samsung Galaxy Fold launch in 2019.
Since then, we’ve seen foldable phones from Huawei, Motorola, Google, and Vivo – but nothing from Apple.
Complaints around foldable phones often focus on device thickness, the crease on the screen, and the higher prices.
So Apple might need to resolve one or more of those issues to send the gadgets mainstream.

2 weeks agoNews 1Comments Off on ITV reveals future of hit drama Unforgotten after six series and cast shake up
ITV confirms future of Unforgotten after six series and major cast shake-up.
After a rollercoaster sixth series and a huge cast shake-up, ITV has finally broken its silence on the future of Unforgotten.
ITVITV has finally lifted the lid on what’s next for hit crime drama Unforgotten after six gripping series[/caption]
ITVThe crime drama has been streamed over 24 million times this year alone on ITVX[/caption]
Fans have been left wondering whether the show will return after its latest shocking twists – and now, the ITV has delivered an answer.
The broadcaster has confirmed that the show has been recommissioned for a seventh series following the success of series six.
The first episode of the new series has consolidated at 6.4 million with a peak viewing of 6.8 million after 7-day viewing.
After 14 days of viewing, the first episode peaked at 7.4 million viewers, making it the second highest-performing drama of the last year across all channels.
Unforgotten has also been streamed over 24 million times this year alone on ITVX.
Sinéad Keenan and Sanjeev Bhaskar announced the dramas recommission via social media, unveiling a script for series seven along with a message thanking viewers for their support.
Series creator and Executive Producer Chris Lang will write the seventh series.
Chris said: “I am so delighted to have been asked to create another series of Unforgotten, and given the opportunity once again to follow Sunny, Jess and their brilliant team, as they attempt to crack another cold case.
“Unforgotten is a drama that has always asked its audience to lean in, concentrate, and engage with complex ideas, plots and themes, and we are profoundly grateful that such a large and loyal audience continue to enjoy doing exactly that. Roll on series 7!!”
Series six came to a conclusion last night as Sunny and Jess unravelled their latest cold case, receiving widespread critical acclaim with many five-star reviews praising the drama and declaring Sunny and Jess “TV’s best detective duo.”
Gerry’s killer was finally revealed as Taylor Cooper.
Taylor told the officers that she went into the kitchen, after hearing a fight between her parents.
She grabbed a knife on the table and stabbed it into his leg, causing him to swing at her.
The unexpected twist explains why her mum was so against the police speaking to her – even if she didn’t realise herself that she had struck the fatal blow.
The CPS decided it wasn’t in the public interest to charge Taylor over the killing.
Crime dramas on ITVX
Crime drama buffs have a wide selection of choices on ITVX - here is a selection of some of the programmes available to binge.

Fans of the drama were left stunned after finding out the investigating officer of Cooper’s disappearance was Ram Sidhu (Phaldut Sharma), who viewers last saw back in season 4.
DCI Ram Sidhu was at the centre of the show’s drama as a murder suspect.
Although innocent of killing anyone, he was imprisoned for preventing a lawful burial, taking money for drugs and abusing his position as a police officer.
Sanjeev explained his character Sunny will always have negative feelings towards Ram as Cassie (Nicola Walker) was overworked and tired from her time on the case before her shocking death.
The sixth series featured a star cast including MyAnna Buring (The Witcher) and Jan Francis (Just Good Friends) and Damien Molony (Brassic).
Unforgotten season 6 is now showing on ITV1 and ITVX.
