Tiger Woods lends his support to bullied teenager

Whatever you might think of Tiger Woods, the golf legend deserves credit for this kind gesture to a young fan.

Ladies golfer Sophie Gustafson recently revealed that she was contacted by the mother of a boy called Dillon, who was driven to attempt suicide last month after being bullied for his stammer. Gustafson, who herself has suffered with a speech impediment, got in touch with Woods and the golfer decided to write Dillon a letter describing his own teenage anguish and how he overcame it. Hopefully Woods' kindness has helped in some way. https://twitter.com/BobHarig/status/598245950423998464 https://twitter.com/SophieGustafson/status/597511897185914881 H/T to Bleacher Report
