Unfortunate Timing
Golf Digest either timed it perfect or totally wrong depending on your perspective about publicity. If any publicity is good publicity, than they got it just right. If the content matters, they could not have been more off with their Photoshopped cover this month.
"Ten things President Obama can learn from Tiger Woods" Indeed!
Of course the issue went to press just before Tiger had his accident and the scandal broke. It was too late to change it or pull the cover.
Just a sidenote on how ridiculously out of whack modern America's sense of timing is, this is the cover of the January 2010 Golf Digest, and it was too late to do anything about it during the last week of November! This message brought to you by the society that couldn't be more out ahead of itself in a rush to nowhere: Christmas music and decorations starting just after Halloween... Black Friday store openings gradually creeping forward year by year from 6am to 5.30am to 5am... 2010 model cars on sale in September 2009

Thanks for that insightful critique AimTrust... As for the cover, hmmm. I assume golf digest still owns word processing software and Photoshop, so yeah lame. Perhaps Ochoa and Michelle Obama?

Shag-
Yeah that would have been a better replacement tandem for sure!
Or maybe they could have gone with "Ten things Michelle Wie could learn from Michelle Obama."
