Vanity Fair's Tiger Woods Cover Photo

[Anonymous]

Full disclosure - I am not a golf fan, but I am so shocked at the choice of photo that Vanity Fair is choosing to run on its Feb. cover. He looks like an inmate working out in a prison yard.

Take a look at let me know what you think. Yikes!!!

Have only seen it on tv while at the gym so I didn't get a close look but I thought they were trying to sex him up. He looked good!

But like I said, haven't seen it closely. Do you think this is another "OJ type" move by a major magazine? (using photoshop to make a black man look scary)

He does not look scary at all. I find it amusing in fact.

nice body for a disgusting creep, I'll admit

I finally understand why all those women want to sleep with him. Aside from the brilliant talent and millions of dollars of course...

ITA with this.

Yup, trying to thug it up. And he's going to have to pump a lot more iron before he gets anything more than a golfer's bod. snore. He's not ready for the cover of Men's Fitness, that's for certain.

I think that is a horrible picture! Are those white dots along his neck and chest?

The photo is actually from a couple of years ago--but I wonder about the decision to use it on the cover now.

Agree that from the neck down he does not look to bad, but I cannot get over the look on his face, especially the eyes.

He looks like a thug - the set does not make him come off like a football player lifting. Such an ungolf picture. I guess he would be bringing out the lawyers if he hadn't been exposed --

Yuck! Nice body without matching face. Just like middle aged men who pump up and then you see this old baldy face with a mismatched middle age body.

I met Tiger back in the day when he and his (now late) father did a leadership series talk at GW. I was in a photograph with him and, during the photo, he tickled me. You can see it in the picture! So funny, in hindsight, thinking of how it probably was some sort of awkward come-on. I was young and blond then. (Now I'm blond but definitely not young!)

I can't help but feel kind of sorry for Tiger; that kind of cheating seems like a personality disorder as much as anything else. I think his father pushed him really hard, I think he was really shaken by his father's death, and I think fame and fortune hurt people. My husband and I were in a band, as younger people, that "almost" made it. I remembered being relieved when we never went anywhere because I don't know one famous person who ended up ok. Even the few long term famous couples I could think of recently split up or had major cheating or other issues. I hope my kiddos never want to be famous. It just seems like a miserable kind of life.

Maybe sweat?

But, I agree. It's not all that attractive.
