Tiger Woods in 'Vanity Fair': Never-before-seen photos

tiger-woods-vanity-fair.jpg"Vanity Fair" has a series of Annie Leibovitz photographs of Tiger Woods pre-scandal and is running them in the Feb. 2010 issue alongside an article about Woods' fall from grace.

"Friday Night Light" author Buzz Bissinger pens the article "Tiger in the Rough," in which he examines the Tiger scandal. Bissinger calls it "one of the greatest recorded drops in popularity of any nonpolitical figure."

That might actually be an understatement, as sponsor after sponsor has distanced themselves from Tiger Woods.

Bissinger also refers to other athlete sex scandals (David Beckham, Kobe Bryant) that hardly surprised the public, but that the Woods scandal was particularly shocking because Tiger has always been "a charming nonperson."

The piece is an interesting read for sure, but one thing that really strikes us is the Travis Bickle-esque cover. That certainly isn't the Tiger Woods of the past and, as the photos were taken pre-scandal, maybe a little prescient?

LMAO...

COMPLETELY BLASIAN !!! LOL

And the Tiger scandal actually gave me more respect for him.

It proved he is not a robot.

He was too perfect.

Now we know he is real person, with real emotions and living and breathing his own real life !!!

Tiger is one of the whitest guys around, playing essentially a white man's sport and making a lot of money from it to provide a more than luxurious life for himself and his family. So why did Vanity Fair feel the need to thug him up on the cover?

ed ---

Vanity Fair are using his over hyped personal life to sell magazines.

Good thing Jesus is dead otherwise they would have his sacrificed body with a 6th wound to gratify the ugly media climate we currently live in.

well, it certainly adds a new dimension to the previously bland Mr. Woods.

Unless you are talking about drugs like heroin or amphetamines, addiction is MYTH not science. There are no sex addicts. There are only spoiled, immature babies who refuse to grow up. I hope Elin takes this dirtbag to the cleaners.


Tiger Woods is the famous golfer,rich and has everything in his life,sometime when the people has too much money.why he doesn't help alot of poor people in the world.?How can he spend alot of money,is beter he donates much money for a poor then spent alot of money for the prostitue.He is an Amazing person,,but he doesn't know what he would like.He is unhappy with his wife,I see that.But he is married with her then he may try to focus has sex with his wife.Tiger is a nice person,,may be his mom got a straf from the God,because she caught Earn woods from his wife when he was still married with his own wife and let Earn woods left also his 3 small children,who cares now about Tiger Woods's scandal.Money can change the people,but you cann't buy the happiness with the money.Just pray that the God Bless us all.Elin must take good care of Tiger Woods.Don't judge him as she is a queen..Tiger W worked very hard with his talented and deserves everything what he hopes.if his wife is nice with him,,he wouldn't go to other women.Tiger Woods is still Amazing!!most all the men have also scandal,,rich or poor...doesn't matter.JUst remember don't get the aids...
