Tiger's Golf Digest Column Suspended by Magazine

PrintAccording to a by the New York Post's Keith Kelly, Tiger Woods has just been suspended from his writing gig at Golf Digest. This writing assignment was worth a reported $3 million per year. Golf Digest publisher Conde Nast decided to suspend Woods for the time being and no reinstatement date was announced in editor Jerry Tarde's February 2010 issue letter.
Tiger Woods wrote a monthly column that contained golfing tips and other golf-game advice. Since Tiger announced his ndefinite leave of golf, Golf Digest decided it was best for Tiger to stop writing the column.
Ironically enough, Golf Digest's January 2010 cover depicts both Tiger and President Obama, sent to the printers long before allegations of infidelity, lies, and sponsorship drops. Personally, I cannot wait to read some of the Letters to the Editor in the next few months.

They do have some letters printed on their website. I’m guessing that’s what he meant?

Aside from the embarrassment of this particular cover, which, if I were TIger Woods, would make me quit – I had a funny thought…all those articles on how to fix a slice, and Tiger STILL can’t keep it out of the trees on the right. Are they really giving us good tips ? :-)
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
Reminds me of Seve...
that it was putting and great escapes that allowed Tiger to compete. When the putting goes, the strain will be all consuming for Tiger. I thought we saw a glimpse of that at this years PGA.
Tips...
if one buys magazines as long as I have, the tips tend to be repeated over anyway. I still enjoy a good read, but I think now that one has to be like say, Trevino, to hit like a Trevino.
I receive Golf Digest and Golf World as perks(?) for belonging to a certain organization, so I read them before putting them in the recycling bin. On very rare occasions I’ll read a tip that turns on a light bulb. Even before the “scandal” I thought the cover story was presumptuous. The president may play golf, but Tiger doesn’t play politics. I hope the writers didn’t get paid too much for their less-than-compelling remarks.
Truth has a well-known liberal bias.
