Tiger Woods’ front tooth KNOCKED OUT by camera during media scramble after girlfriend Lindsey Vonn’s record-breaking win

One of Tiger Woods’ front teeth was knocked out by a cameraman during a media scramble after his girlfriend Lindsey Vonn won another World Cup event in Italy on Monday, according to the UK DailyMail.com.

The golfer revealed the gap in his mouth as he congratulated the skier following her winning run in Cortina D’Ampezzo – her 63rd World Cup victory.

No one wants to showcase a missing tooth—especially during the apex of a world record accomplishment—and, Woods had hidden it behind a skeleton handkerchief, used as a makeshift mask before surprising Vonn (30) at the finish line; but it seems she was not the only one at the event who didn’t recognize the former world No. 1 – as the media promptly trampled him.

Vonn told CNN that Woods often wears masks when he’s in ‘ski town’ so, she recognized him right away when she spotted him.

We’ll have to wait and see if the tooth is lost for good, or if someone may have actually recovered the tooth, or perhaps it’s now listed on eBay?  And, what about the cameraman?  Is he still working?
