Bill Clinton Gives Tiger Woods Words of Support

(CBS)
Former President Bill Clinton had a recent phone call with Tiger Woods and offered the embattled golfer his support, according to reports.

Woods reportedly called Mr. Clinton on issues unrelated to the scandal involving his multiple extramarital affairs, Golf Digest first reported. Still, the former president, who has experience in dealing with reports of extramarital affairs, gave Woods some encouragement.

"President Clinton spoke with Tiger and wished him well," Matt McKenna, a spokesperson for Mr. Clinton, confirmed to People magazine.

Golf Digest also originally reported that President Obama called Woods to offer support, but the White House said that was not true.
