WASHINGTON--President Obama was charitable in his comments about Tigers Woods when he was asked about the star golfer--who cheated on his wife in multiple affairs playing in the upcoming Masters tournament.

Fox News Bret Baier put a Woods question to Obama at the end of a Wednesday interview.

Baier told Obama, "One of the e-mailers asked to ask you, what do you think about Tiger returning to the Masters?

Replied Obama, "You know, I think that, you know, Tiger has acknowledged that he betrayed his family and, you know, that's a personal issue that he's got to work out. I hope they've worked it out. I'm sure he's going to still be a terrific golfer. All right."
