Golf World sticks it to the LPGA Tour......again

Who is on the cover of the magazine this week. Is it Yani Tseng, the golfer who won her 3rd career tournament and 2nd Major Championship overall?
No, it's Anthony Kim for winning a Masters warmup.
What a joke this magazine is. The biggest on course story of the week doesn't merit a cover photo. It isn't the first time GW has done this either. In 2006 they featured Phil Mickelson for winning at Atlanta by 12 shots instead of Kraft Nabisco winner Karrie Webb who didn't just make a comeback after nearly two years of no victories, but holed out on 18 for eagle to force a playoff.
Before 2006, GW used to put the Players Champion on the cover over the winner of Kraft Nabisco. Pseudo majors are more important than real major championships in their eyes.
Lets not forget their disgraceful 2009 LPGA preview which came to some of their subscriber's mailboxes after the first tournament of the year was already completed. A golf architecture issue was more important than the LPGA to them also.
GW is a joke of a golf publication. The next thing I expect from one of their authors(Ron Sirak maybe?) is an article about how poorly placed the Kraft Nabisco is and that it doesn't get enough attention. What's a case of h Chutzpah in comparison to their regular displays of journalistic stupidity?

I'm a little confused and it does
not take much to accomplish that. This post is the same post (verbatim) that is published on The Constructivist (TC) blog this morning. I do not visit this site (HD) very often. Are Ron Jempty and the Florida Masochist one and the same?
Regardless, I agree. I am curious how low the winner had to be ranked before Yani would get the cover? John Senden? Heath Slocum?

Golf Week made up for it
Yani is front and center, smiling and holding her trophy.
Through no fault of my own I get both magazines each week. If I had to choose I’d say Golf Week is a better read.
Placebos, of course, are things you have to swallow even though they contain nothing that actually helps you. It's like American health insurance in a pill. -BiPM
