Very true, you have to play golf to appreciate and buy merchandise related to Tiger. I'm sure all the people who watch Tiger on Sundays are avid golfers just like everyone who watched Michael Jordan play were basketball players. It's nice to see that you put some thought into your response

Watch Tiger have his own perfume line within a year and probably own clothing line if he wants. Electronic Arts is standing by him and the release of his new golf game. Of course they are it will be a big seller. I can see it now your typical 22 year old plays Tiger Wood Golf and then watches some porn with one of the actresses Tiger nailed. Uh yeah could be even bigger seller. A whole new audience of woman are looking at the Vanity Fair cover and thinking I never saw him that way before. Out with the old and in with the new. Tiger and Justin Timberlake together at the promotion.

The funny thing is Tiger is more Asian than he is Black racially speaking. His competitiveness and drive come from his mother who instilled the Asian work ethic. He essentially grew up as a white person who hung out with white kids in an affluent area in California and attended Stanford. When asked about being Black, he responded with "I'm Cablinasian" which is Caucasian, Black, Native American and Asian meaning he never saw himself as being Black or any particular race......

....yet now, he is going to firmly adopt his Black side to find a new niche to market and promote himself

p.s. My abs can look like that too if I unabashedly suck them in like that.
WTF? It's an Annie Leibovitz photo, likely taken before the **** hit the fan. Annie Leibovitz controls her photo shoots. To try to make this into a Tiger-is-showing-his-getto-roots is not only not true, it's just plain stupid.

I bet he didn't look so tough when he was running for the car, barefooted, trying to get away from "woman with club". LOL

Taken in 2006.

VF is simply exploiting him for cash by putting him on the cover.

Annie Leibovitz capitalizes, in every sense of the word, upon photographing controversial subjects. I think the thread has more to do with Tiger and his choice to appear in a cover shot, at this time, rather than the famous photgrapher. But, I could be wrong.

Why? Because all black people speak like that. All black people are low life ghetto dwellers who speak ebonics, didn't you know?

Yeah, you're wrong. Wasn't his choice.
