Tiger Woods Taking Reentry Advice From Former Bush Aide Fleischer

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.
