I guess my suspicions were correct.

In a previous post I guessed that the photographer who took the photograph of Tiger Woods jogging prior to the much ballyhooed press conference was a shill for Tiger, the PGA, and Getty Images, the stock photography company peddling the image online. According to TMZ.com approached Getty with the idea of taking the photographs. In other words, they were nothing but propaganda. And the photographer who took the images? Sam Greenwood? Tiger has “known him for a long time.”

Interesting.

What’s more, the CEO of Getty Images, Jonathan Klein, was interviewed by CNBC and made the following well rehearsed comment:

Well what I can tell you is this. Over a long period of time, Getty Images has established itself as the gold standard in terms of not only the image quality, but the way we behave. As a result of that, we don’t do paparazzi images and as a result of that, we often get a called in either for a non-profit basis like we do all the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie photos entirely non-profit.

We were approached and Tiger happened to know the photographer (Sam Greenwood) and has known him for a long time.

Hogwash. Getty Images has been selling paparazzi style photographs for years.

And it would seem as though Tiger Woods did not only screw a bevy of beauties and dupe his wife. He also screwed hard working photographers and duped the American public in the process.
