Tiger Woods wrote a letter to a bullied kid who attempted suicide

I would give Tiger a thumbs up if I could.

I would say that this sort of thing happens more than we think.

I would also venture to say that Tiger would be one player who would prefer that his efforts go unreported and on the quiet.

It's not about him, it's about the child.

I won't name names, but there are players who do this stuff to get publicity. Tiger is not one of those people.

I'm not suggesting Tiger would bring it up in light of the current story. I know Tiger is a very private guy. I just would've figured the writers over at CBS sports would've dug up the old interview and mentioned how this particular case could be relatable to Tiger.

No, I agree. I mean the actual story itself, not the stutter.

And if it was ***** ##### he'd  be telling you about it.

"Tiger sent Dillon a letter and told him he also stuttered when he was younger," Sophie wrote. "He's ecstatic. We did good Ron."

Sophie did good. Tiger did good. I did my job. I gather information and tell stories.

And this story needed to be told. Bullying of people -- children and adults -- who are different in any way is a serious problem that must be addressed.

That Tiger responded so quickly was the act of not only someone who knew taunting when he was a child -- both because of his stutter and his race -- but it was also the act of a father of two who understands how we need to protect our children.

"It was real class to get that out so fast," Sophie said about Tiger sending the letter immediately.

She got that right.

I will not read any of the comments on that post, unlike the other one…

This is cool. Just what makes Tiger, Tiger.

Good job by Tiger.

I'm glad he did it.

I'm sorry we heard about it.

I'm glad we didn't hear about it from him.

I'm a big believer in doing your good deeds in secret.
