Cover ideas inspired by Golfweek's 'noose issue'
Published 1/17/2008 at SI.com - Golf
People are saying the cover of the Jan. 19 issue of Golfweek -- a noose, nobody in it -- is out-of-bounds, an over-the-top way to illustrate a two-week-old news story about Kelly Tilghman's "lynch" remark regarding Tiger Woods. Tim Finchem didn't like it, but the fact is the commissioner is not in the news business. The Golfweek cover is genius!

Canadian writer argues that Golfweek Magazine's cover image is worse than what inspired it: Kelly Tilghan's comment on The Golf Channel about Tiger Woods. Someone at Golfweek Magazine should get fired over this. There is no question that the motive here was to sell magazines based of the controversy and that end result was put ahead of everything else.
