Tiger Woods' New Photo Was "Set Up" Credit: Sam Greenwood/Getty Images

Imagine being the paparazzo who got Wednesday's million-dollar shots of Tiger Woods jogging in Florida -- what a score!

Well, it turns out that the very first, bonafide photograph of the golfer since November 2009 may not have been a spontaneous "pap shot" at all.

Hear Tiger's infamous voicemail to his mistress

"Tiger's team set this photo up with [photo agency] Getty in advance," a Florida source insists to UsMagazine.com.

Recap how Tiger's nightmare began

TMZ says that the well-composed picture of Woods (in Nike shirt and shorts but no wedding ring) was taken by Sam Greenwood -- a "pretty famous" Getty-employed sports photographer whose work includes two Sports Illustrated covers.

Have you seen Tiger's adorable kids?

A rep for Getty Images tells UsMagazine.com, "we have no comment on the photo or Tiger Woods situation."

    I can't even believe golf is a sport. All it is is swinging a golf club. WOW that's a sport??? Really???

    He's too controlling and phony. And obviously a cheat.

    Tiger sure looks a lot thinner here than he does in the other version of this picture that US used in the article where they call him tubby Tiger. Gee, I wonder if they made use of photoshop in one of them???

    Just read on TV three terrible words "Tiger coming back" get the message.

    We're obsessed with a guy who hits little balls for a living? Wow...

    Hey, at least his knee surgery was a success. Go Tiger! Get back on the tour real soon.

    This image is a sham! Who does the Getty Images think they are. What happened to their integrity? Why would they get involved in this loser's wife! Shame Shame Shame!

    People crack me up they get all up and excited because Tiger is seen jogging or staged a pic of him jogging..... who cares!!!! He is just a guy that got busted like so many women and men do everyday... in this country. Just let him and his wife and family get on with their lives... The kids are the most important thing in this whole mess but the press seems to forget about whats important just like Tiger did ..... And a note to one of the people that just posted a comment about Tiger being a dumbass because his wife is super hot..... just ecause a man or a woman is super hot does not make them a good partner to go through life with everyone has baggage and problems even rich good looking women...

    He looks fat! He must not be getting any to work off those love handles!

    To Macaber: His name is TIGER! NOT "TIGGER". Spell check much? It's disgusting how judgemental you people are when you don't even know the whole story. Maybe his wife quit putting out and triggered all of this. Did you ever think of that?

    Tiger who?

  • February 18, 2010 - 3:24pm m

    If I were Tiger I would say, "I don't know what love is but I am trying to learn. I need to stop the extreme compartmentalizing of my life, to enable a healthier world for my children and those who love me. And, on the world stage I as an athlete will work diligently not be analogous in any way with the word cheat." yup..good one...

    Of course it was staged! A picture perfect shot after months and no other shots. Very much staged in getting ready for his amend making speech.

  • February 18, 2010 - 2:24pm Dick Weed

    Is he running to his next lay....What a dumb A$$!

  • February 18, 2010 - 2:21pm Jennifer Towne

    Tiger Woods is pathetic. He has a hot wife and still feels the need to screw dirty strippers, and he's not even that good looking! I have one word for Tiger... "STD"

  • February 18, 2010 - 2:15pm Candy

    so he is a fake this is news?

  • February 18, 2010 - 1:57pm Macaber

    Who cares what the Tigger does,I certainly don't, I don't even know the man, wo why should I adore him. Apparently the media finds him worthy of adoration. Like the photo shoot, Tigger and his handlers have carefully planned his phony press conference also. This adoration for the Tigger is ridiculous, and only because he can put a little ball into a hole quite well, the most inefficient way to put a ball in a hole.

    Why is this even a story?
