Golf Digest's Diaz Dupes ESPN on Obama / Tiger Woods Phone Call


Wrong Number. "Tiger Woods has received personal calls from President Barack Obama and Bill Clinton while in his personal exile, but he's also being supported by his family, Golf Digest reported Saturday." That is what ESPN and thousands of other sites reported after Jaime Diaz' article Eye of the Storm hit the net.

Only problem? It wasn't true and the article has been changed:

It was a recipe for entitlement. It's a condition the average person resents and rejects as an excuse for bad behavior. Many who live in the public eye have a more empathetic perspective and have been more willing to lend Woods support. "I'm a strong believer that anybody can look within themselves, find their flaws and fix them," President Obama said. Bill Clinton, whose experience might be particularly instructive, made a personal call to offer encouragement.
US Magazine simply removed the article pictured above without further note.

At least ESPN credited 'News Services' instead of having poor Jason Sobel taking the credit...
