TIGER Woods is taking a giant leap back to respectability.The golfer — who is said to have cheated on his wife, Elin, with several different women — is considering a $3 million donation that would send doctors and supplies to Haiti.
“Tiger Woods is working on sending a mobile hospital with 50 EMTs to go set up a triage,” rapper Russell Simmons told the New York Daily News newspaper.
Simmons and representatives from Wyclef Jean’s Haitian relief organization Yele have asked Woods to support the effort. Simmons’ spokesman has been in touch with Woods’ management team and they are “excited” about the idea.
“I am waiting to have the conversation [with Tiger] tomorrow morning,” Simmons’ spokesman Marcus Harris told the News. “I am hopeful that it is a yes.”
“I am just asking for his heart and his hand,” he said.
“Just to meet the needs of the people.”
A Haitian relief effort would be Woods’ first foray into public life since he took an indefinite leave of absence from golf following a massive sex scandal.
The Tiger Woods Foundation has put millions toward education and support projects for children around the world since 1996.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt announced Thursday that they have donated $1 million to help the earthquake victims.
Singer Usher also offered his help and encouraged others to do the same.
“I am devastated by the news in Haiti and am calling for youth worldwide to support and offer assistance to the millions of people in that area that are in dire need,” he said.
The You Make Me Wanna singer also said he was working with his charity Usher’s New Look “to figure out the most effective means of help”.
“I also know that young men and women have asked the same question — ‘How can I help?’,” he added.
“With Haiti in a state of emergency right now, young people do have the power to save lives.”
