Tiger Woods took to Twitter on Monday afternoon to celebrate Peyton Manning's career, after the Denver Broncos quarterback officially announced his retirement.  



Woods even offered some self-deprecating humor, joking that he would need the handicap when the pair next played golf together:



He also joked that Manning's retirement would help out his favorite team, the Oakland Raiders:



The pair are friends, and Manning revealed in 2014 that "Tiger" was even a call at the line of scrimmage to determine the snap count during his time with the Indianapolis Colts:



For a time, the pair were two of the most dominant athletes of a generation. Manning started his career after being selected No. 1 overall by the Colts in the 1998 NFL draft, eventually winning two Super Bowls and becoming a 14-time Pro Bowler, a seven-time first-team All-NFL selection by the Associated Press and a five-time league MVP.


He also finished his career as the NFL's leader in passing yards (71,940) and passing touchdowns (539).

Woods started his career two years earlier, making his professional debut in 1996, before going on to win 14 majors and 106 tournaments.

Where the pair has diverged, however, is that Manning remained at an elite level until late in his career, while Woods hasn't won a golf tournament since 2013 and hasn't won a major since 2008.

But much like Manning will go down as one of the greatest players in NFL history, Woods will ultimately be remembered as one of the most dominant golfers in history. Even if he's the one joking about needing a handicap now.
