There's A Deep Backstory to Suzann's "Bodies" Issue Photo Shoot

And Steve DiMeglio talks to her about it, but do you really care about anything else but the photo?

So when ESPN The Magazine approached her to appear in its upcoming Body Issue, Pettersen, ranked No. 6 in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings, didn't hesitate in agreeing to show off her birthday suit.

"A lot of the best athletes in the world have done it, and I thought it was great to be asked. I thought about it, being naked and all, but I never really considered not doing it," said Pettersen, who is 5-9 and weighs 150 pounds. "I just had to make sure that I was comfortable in doing it. It's as natural as it gets. It's health at its peak.

"I'm in great company."
