Tiger Woods’ tooth was knocked out by cameraman

Tiger Woods is missing a tooth.

On Sunday, some photos of Tiger watching his girlfriend Lindsey Vonn’s race in Italy appeared to show Woods hiding behind a disguise. As it turns out, he may have been hiding the fact that he needs dental work.

According to ESPN.com’s Bob Harig, Woods had the tooth knocked out when a camera person accidentally clipped him during a downhill race.

Of course, Tiger’s missing tooth has resulted in the resurfacing of some old rumors about his ex-wife Elin Nordegren knocking his tooth out when she allegedly went after Woods with a golf club. We don’t know if that is true, but what we do know is that the tooth Tiger is now missing has clearly been discolored for quite some time. Here’s a photo of him from last summer.

A missing tooth is the latest in a long list of injuries Woods has suffered over the past few years, though this one won’t keep him off the course like the back injury he suffered when he took this swing. I’m no dentist, but it looks to me like something was up with Tiger’s tooth before the alleged incident in Italy.
