STAFF WRITER 20:27 HRS IST

New York, Jan 15 (PTI) Shamed golfer Tiger Woods is reportedly considering to donate USD 3 million for the victims of the calamitous earthquake that rocked Haiti.

Woods wanted to send medical supplies to the earthquake devastated Caribbean nation, said Hip-hop mogul Russell Simons.

"Tiger Woods is working on sending a mobile hospital with 50 EMTs to go set up a triage," Simmons was quoted as saying by the New York Daily News.

The earthquake, so far, has left between 40,000 - 50,000 people dead and about 300,000 homeless.

Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama said Woods can "absolutely" get back on track.

"I don't want to comment on his personal relationship with his wife and family, but I am a strong believer that anybody can look within themselves, find their flaws and fix them," Obama told People magazine.

Notably, Woods had disappeared from public life after a scandal which revealed a series of his extramarital affairs.
