LPGA players frustrated by Golf Digest cover of Gretzky Steve DiMeglio, USA TODAY Sports

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – With a provocative pose, Paulina Gretzky will be the cover girl in the upcoming issue of Golf Digest.

That doesn't sit well with some LPGA tour stars.

Gretzky isn't a professional golfer but is engaged to one – PGA Tour star Dustin Johnson. Gretzky, the daughter of hockey icon Wayne Gretzky and former actress Janet Jones Gretzky, demonstrates six golf-improvement exercises for the issue and talks about her connections in the sports world. A tablet edition is available April 8, while the magazine hits newsstands April 15.

The last three women to appear on the cover have been Golf Channel anchor and personality Holly Sonders (May 2013), Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover girl Kate Upton, who appeared with Arnold Palmer (December 2013), and Gretzky. Lorena Ochoa was the last player to appear on the cover – in 2008.
