Eye Off the Tiger: Wall Street Journal Photo Oops

The Wall Street Journal print edition photo at left, the original at right.

Tiger looked more like the elusive Cheshire Cat in the Wall Street Journal today when the paper's print edition edited out the golf pro from a photo accompanying an article about his big media appearance. The original photo depicts Tiger Woods jogging with some unidentified white guy, but in cropping the photo, the Wall Street Journal kept the black man down on the cutting room floor. The caption? Tiger Woods jogs Wednesday near his home in Isleworth, Fla. BatteryPark.tv, which spotted the gaffe, notes that at least the online version of the article previously featured the correct entire photo with Tiger "and this anonymous jogging companion." Oh no Tiger, not another "anonymous companion"!
