Michael Phelps and Tiger Woods have each experienced the pinnacle of their respective sport, and they have also both dealt with turmoil in their personal lives. Now it appears the swimmer has offered to throw the golfer a lifeline. According to a New York Times report, Phelps reached out to Woods following his arrest in May for driving under the influence.
