The 39-year-old golf superstar reportedly spent some parts of the day wearing a skull-faced bandana over his face, sunglasses and a stocking cap. The unusual attire was for Tiger Woods missing tooth to be covered up and to conceal his identity in general, according to the Bleacher Report. Still, at one point he was photographed carefully watching Vonn from afar.

When Woods took off his bandana and gaped at his girlfriend of almost two years, Tiger Woods missing tooth was noticeable.
According to the Associated Press, Woods' agents said that the culprit behind Tiger Woods missing tooth was a camera.
"During a crush of photographers as the awards podium at the World Cup event in Italy, a media member with a shoulder-mounted video camera pushed and surged toward the stage, turned and hit Tiger Woods in the mouth," Woods' agent Mark Steinberg of Excel Sports told the Daily Mail via email Monday.
"Woods' tooth was knocked out by the incident," he added of the reason behind Tiger Woods missing tooth.
There is still no word from Steinberg as to when Tiger Woods missing tooth will be replaced.
As for Vonn, meanwhile, she did not mention anything about Tiger Woods' missing. However, she told the Today show Monday that his appearance in Italy surprised, according to Us Magazine.
"I didn't know he was here at the finish until I actually was done with my race and my dad said, 'Hey look, I found someone,''' the 30-year-old told Savannah Guthrie and Willie Geist. "It was incredible. I had hoped that he would come, but he's in training. He's got a tournament coming up. I would never have expected him to show up, but it meant a lot to me. He's a catch. He's a good boyfriend."
She also told USA Today about Woods' special surprise.
"I didn't think this could get any better than yesterday with my entire family here but now with Tiger here this is unbelievable," she said.
"I said, 'I can't believe you came.' And he said, 'I told you,'" Vonn ecstaticly added. In the last year, Vonn reportedly came off of two debilitating injuries, thus keeping her from competing in the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
She recently told the Today show that she's back in her element.
"I think that's just all my hard work paying off finally," she said. "I'm in a really happy place. It's hard to explain. It's a dream come true."
Tiger Woods missing tooth may have made recent headlines, but soon it will be all about talent once again as golf's biggest and possibly most photographed athlete will be competing again next week in the Phoenix Open.
