Golfer Tiger Woods is set to rescue his good name by donating $3 million to Wyclef Jean’s Yele Foundation in an effort to create a mobile hospital in earthquake-hit Haiti.

According to rap mogul Russell Simmons, Woods is considering donation so that it would help send doctors and supplies to Haiti to deal with the aftermath of the earthquake, reports dailystar.co.uk .

“Tiger Woods is working on sending a mobile hospital in Haiti,” said Simmons.

Simmons has called on various celebrities to join the relief effort.

Woods is believed to be in hiding in South Africa after his relationship with wife Elin Nordegren came under public scrutiny in November last year when a string of alleged mistresses came forward with stories of secret trysts with the sportsman.
