Mark Sanford on Him and Tiger Woods: Could Be Our Year

Was sworn into Congress yesterday after resigning as SC governor over an extramarital affair in 2009

Rep. Mark Sanford and Tiger Woods are in the midst of legendary comebacks … considering cheating scandals ruined both of their lives … but Sanford tells TMZ he hopes 2013 is the year they can BOTH stay on top (of their careers … not other women). 

Sanford -- who was just sworn back into office after leaving his position in shame in 2009 following an extra-marital affair -- was strollin' around in D.C. yesterday when we talked about how he and Tiger are both turning things around.
