    BEIJING, Dec. 14 (Xinhuanet) -- The online adult magazine Playgirl has received nude photos of Tiger Woods but decided not to publish them.

    "Playgirl has decided to turn down the alleged Tiger Woods nude photos, reportedly taken by camera phone by Woods himself. They were impossible to one 100 percent verify, hence the unwillingness to go there," Daniel Nardicio, director of marketing for the magazine, told PEOPLE Sunday.

    Nardicio added the magazine prefers shoots that have the blessing of the subject, like Johnston, who recently posed in a state of undress for the publication.

    "This is a prime example of the direction Playgirl does not want to take," Nardicio said. "I prefer subjects who are willing."
