Tiger Woods Takes His Shirt Off for Vanity Fair

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 4th 2010 03:45PM

A bare-chested Tiger Woods graces the cover of the upcoming Vanity Fair, lifting weights in the photos taken by legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz before his sex scandal erupted.

Pulitzer-Prize-winning author Buzz Bissinger delves into the world's most famous golfer's fall from grace.

According to Bissinger, Woods' approval rating following revelations of his reported affairs has plummeted -- from 87 percent in 2005, to 33 percent in 2009.

Bissinger writes that Woods' persona always seemed carefully controlled -- except for one interview he gave in 1997 for GQ.

"What I can't figure out is why so many good-looking women hang around baseball and basketball. Is it because, you know, people always say that, like, black guys have big d---s?" Woods said.

The golfer made a joke by rubbing the tips of his shoes together and describing it as "a black guy taking his condom off." He also made another lewd quip about lesbians and oral sex, during the photo shoot for the magazine.

Woods' troubles began when he crashed his car at his Florida home after allegedly fighting with his wife, Elin Nordegren. After the accident, reports of his infidelities trickled in, first with Rachel Uchitel, then many more women came forward claiming a romantic entanglement with the superstar athlete.

He's seen so much action, his pecker must be whittled down to a wee pecker.

By Bob

Hmmm...given the creepiness of the picture on the mag cover, I doubt there is anything below the belt worth looking at. If his shirtless pic is as creepy as it is then what is down below just might be even creepier.

By BudFoster

Waste down? What a DMF!

By Kekeli

For what? His privates have been seen by so many that they should be called "public's".

Tiger was father of the year before he bacame stud of the year. What a phoney! Tiger has no credibility or honor!

By PEPPA

NOT GOOD AT ALL.

Are you a criminologist or just another jealous housewife??

Tiger is disgusting. And this picture just gives us a visual of what we're already thinking... "He's a raunchy, heartless, hopeless SEX ADDICT."

By ken del valle

I like this Tiger better. I will purchase from those sponsors that have stood by him. I will not purchase from those that have turned their backs on him.

We are a nation of fools and gossips. What happened to being a man? If you are a man, exercice your right to be one!

If you don't like it ... don't vote for him. Oh, you mean he isn't running for office? Then what right does anyone have judging him? None.He now fits his name.

At least he is not some republican bible thumper doing little boys.

By DENA

Your post is the most idiotic, unintelligent piece of garbage on here. How old are you? 11? And what right do you have judging those sponsors who don't want to associate him with their product? Why don't you ask the adultering loser what happened to being a man, cause Woods sure ain't one. He's brought shame and dishonor to his wife and children. Maybe you like that sort because you are just like him? But it was your last sentence that brought out the judgemental, hypocritical, idiot that you are. WTF does this story have to do with republicans, bible thumpers and doing little boys? You sound like a man with a man crush on Woods while fantasizing about those little boys you mentioned.

By zolie

Well, I guess we'll cancel each other's support as I will honor those sponsors that have dumped him, and will make a concerted effort to avoid those that continue to utilize him to sell their products!!

By Tasha

Tiger, you're hot, and I don't care what some other black women say about you not being with a sister, but I do want you to know if you ever want a beautiful black woman I'm available!!

Just know, that you won't be his only woman, he likes multiple partners (what, up to 16 that we know of now?)

By Linda

I love how they changed his skin color from golden brown to black and added a little more mass to his face and torso ...Laughing

By bev

That picture is as creepy as his personal life...

By jade

He cheated on his wife. So what. That is their problem. She will wind up collecting tens of millions from this guy. She was a baby sitter when they met. Sounds to me like she did just fine.
