Golf Digest isn’t pulling its latest cover featuring a photo illustration of Tiger Woods and President Barack Obama.

It’s already on the newsstands.

Even though the official newsstand date is Dec. 8, the issue — which offers “10 Tips Obama Can Take From Tiger” — hit some stores today.

“We went to press two weeks before the accident,” said Golf Digest spokesman Bret Hopman.

Hopman wouldn't comment on whether the publication would have pulled the cover if it had more time.

Woods was on the cover twice in 2009.
