In a case of interesting timing for Golf Digest and the White House, embattled pro Tiger Woods adorns the magazine's January cover in a photo illustration with President Barack Obama.
Editor Bob Carney said the magazine has been getting letters regarding the photo mash-up and Woods' crash.

Attempting to volley some criticism, Carney said the issue went to press on Nov. 14 and stressed that it was not a Woods-Obama photo shoot but a photo illustration based on a shoot with body doubles.

Carney said letters to the magazine on the Woods incident have been "remarkably thoughtful, perceptive, often forgiving, and in some cases moving. And certainly some are, well, corrective."

The magazine is printing letters on its blog this week.
