Melbourne (ANI): Scandal-hit Tiger Woods has appeared semi-naked on the cover of Vanity Fair. Taken by famed photog Annie Leibovitz in 2006, the image of the golfer, who has been accused of having numerous extra-marital affairs, shows him glaring at the camera, holding two dumbbells and wearing nothing but a wristwatch and a beanie, reports News.com.au.

The photoshoot was long before news of a string of affairs the superstar enjoyed with a number of women emerged in spectacular fashion late last year. Up to 14 women have been linked to the 34-year-old golfer and Woods has admitted to cheating.

He has since elected to indefinitely stop playing golf to work on his marriage. However, Elin Nordegren, the mother of his two children, is reportedly set on getting a divorce.
