Covering The Snap

A classic SI cover this week, with Robert Beck's shot of Tiger wrapping his 4-iron around an Augusta National Christmas tree.

Golf World's J.D. Cuban also captured a fantastic sequence of the same moment, but from the side (viewable here along with other Round 4 images).

The SI cover shows you that if Tiger isn't part of the story, then professional golf is in trouble ...

Meanwhile, Zach Johnson will get an appearane on "What not to Wear" when putting on your first green jacket ...

One of the worst covers SI has produced.

RM is correct, only if you replace "worst" with "best."

And J.D. Cuban is a witch with a shutter button.
