Sympathetic Tiger pens letter to boy with speech problem

A boy who was bullied for stuttering received strong encouragement from someone else who once struggled with his speech - Tiger Woods.

Golf Digest published the letter from Woods on its website on Tuesday.

"I know what it's like to be different and to sometimes not fit in," Woods wrote. "I also stuttered as a child and I would talk to my dog and he would sit there and listen until he fell asleep. I also took a class for two years to help me, and I finally learned to stop."
