Tiger Woods Semi-Naked On Vanity Fair

Tiger Woods Featured On Vanity Fair Cover

A bare-chested picture of scandal-hit Tiger Woods showing off his bulging biceps has been exposed to the world.

The latest issue of the US magazine Vanity Fair, featuring the famous golfer on its cover, will hit newsagents’ shelves this week.

The revealing image was taken by photographer Annie Leibovitz and the publication promises a full portfolio inside.

The 33-year-old multi-millionaire sportsman has recently been dropped by a number of high-profile sponsors following revelations over a string of extra-martial affairs.

Vanity Fair describes the pictures of Woods – taken before the scandal that erupted after he was hurt in an early morning car crash – as raw and unguarded.

The article accompanying the pictures is definitely post-scandal.

It is called “Tiger in the rough” and starts out, “When Tiger Woods finally fell from his pedestal…”

Leibovitz, who reportedly took the pictures four years ago, said: “Tiger is an intensely competitive athlete – and quite serious about his sport.

“I wanted to reveal that in these photos. And to show his incredible focus and dedication.”

The photographs emerge at a time when the golfer himself has remained hidden.

Woods has not been seen since the crash outside his home in November.

The collision sparked the allegations that Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren had serious marital problems.

He later announced he was giving up golf for the foreseeable future.

US telecommunications company AT&T is the latest firm to end its association with the golfer following the claims of numerous infidelities.

Accenture and Gillette have also dropped support for Woods.

The latest Vanity Fair magazine will go on sale in New York and Los Angeles on Wednesday and the rest of the US on January 12.

Tiger Woods Quits Golf

Tiger Woods says he is taking an “indefinite break” from professional golf.

The star admitted cheating on his wife and said he was asking for forgiveness.

Several women have claimed to have been involved with the 33-year-old, who is married to the former Swedish former model Elin Nordegren.

He said he was quitting the sport for the time being “after much soul searching” to focus on his private life.

The statement said: “I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children.

“I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I’ve done, but I want to do my best to try.”

The statement continued: “What’s most important now is that my family has the time, privacy, and safe haven we will need for personal healing.

“After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person.”

A storm of media attention has swirled round Woods since a minor car accident outside his Florida home on November 27.

The allegations were particularly damaging because Woods has traded on his wholesome image.

Woods did not say in his statement when he would be returning to the sport.
