US President Barack Obama has revealed that he believes ace golfer Tiger Woods can "absolutely" be rehabilitated.
The president said he strongly believed "that anybody can look within themselves, find their flaws and fix them".
"I suspect that he will try to put his life back together again," the Daily Telegraph quoted him as saying in an interview with People magazine.
Woods announced he was taking an indefinite break from professional golf after admitting infidelity following the scandal that linked him to as many as 18 mistresses.
The World No 1 was reported to have checked into an up-market American clinic that specialises in rehabilitation for sexual addiction.
General Motors ends contract with Woods
General Motors has become the latest company to end its endorsement contract with defamed golfer Tiger Woods.
GM has joined the ranks of Gillette, ATnT, Gatorade, Accenture and Tag Heuer, all of which have dropped Woods.
In addition, Woods may no longer drive GM vehicles for free, reports People magazine.
GM's official endorsement contract actually ended in 2008, but the driving deal had been extended until December 31, 2009, Buick spokeswoman Dayna Hart told USA Today.
The end date was set before the infamous car crash and Woods' subsequent "indefinite departure" from golf.
Woods had been allowed to keep several vehicles, including the Cadillac SUV and reportedly a Buick Enclave crossover, for his personal use.
