While cheering on girlfriend Lindsey Vonn in her record-breaking 63rd Alpine racing win, Tiger Woods revealed he has a missing front tooth.
Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, told The Associated Press that Woods was hit in the face by a shoulder-mounted video camera, knocking the tooth out.
Steinberg explained that during a crush of photographers at the awards podium, the cameraman surged toward the stage, turned and hit Woods in the mouth.
"I know it has been discolored so he is probably just getting it fixed," said a friend. "I think he is just in the middle of having it replaced and this was an unplanned trip."
Woods wore a skeleton mask to cover his face Monday in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, Monday where temps were in the mid-30s. But when he pulled down the mask, the gap was on display.
Vonn was thrilled to see Woods on the slopes. "He just showed up," Vonn told reporters. "He has a tournament soon, so he's got a lot of work (to do), and I'm surprised that he was able to come all the way over here for a few hours to watch me ski."
