Tiger Woods is looking for advice from former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer as he seeks to put a sex scandal behind him and re-enter the world of tournament golf, the New York Post reports.

Fleischer knows something about dealing with crises that go way beyond sex and golf. He served President George W. Bush between January 2001 and July 2003 -- when the nation was in the midst of responding to the 9/11 attacks. Since leaving the White House, he has formed Fleischer Sports Communications and advised former St. Louis Cardinals slugger Mark McGwire, who recently admitted to steroid use after rejoining the Cards as a hitting coach.

The Post said "two sources in the golf community" said Fleischer has been called on to help Woods ease his way back into the high-profile business of competitive golf. The newspaper was unable to get comment from Fleischer, who had his ups and downs with the White House press corps.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
