The two were never together for a photoshoot, according to the magazine's Web site, which says the image was altered digitally. The cover was completed and sent to press on Nov. 14 — nearly two full weeks before Woods' car accident took place.
The magazine says one of the tips that Obama could take from Tiger is that "Tiger never does anything that would make him ridiculous."
The USA Today reports there's also a complementary list of things that the golfer could learn from the president. Included: "Lighten up," "Crush your foes, not your fans," "Save some for the losers," and "Dial it back a little."
Given the heat that Tiger's been under over the past two weeks, it seems as though he would need more than just advice from Obama to dig himself out of the hole. He may need a presidential pardon.
