Tiger Woods missing tooth is reportedly the reason why he barely smiled during his girlfriend Lindsey Vonn's record-breaking 63rd Alpine racing win. Although he clearly wanted to burst in open-mouthed cheers, the loss of one of his two front teeth prevented him to do so.
Mark Steinberg, the golfer's agent, informed The Associated Press that Woods was hit, right in the face, by a shoulder-mounted video camera. This accident ended up knocking one of his front teeth out. It apparently took place when photographers rushed to the awards podium. The man with the culprit camera surged towards Woods's direction, turned, and hit him squarely on the mouth.
However, a source who claims to be pretty close to the pro athlete has a different story to tell. The friend said, "I know it has been discolored, so he is probably just getting it fixed. I think he is just in the middle of having it replaced and this was an unplanned trip."
Tiger Woods missing tooth made him have to wear a skeleton mask so that he could cover his face in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy on Monday. It might have concealed his controversial missing tooth, but when he pulled the mask down, the gap was on full display.
Multiple online news outlets had a field day over Tiger Woods missing tooth. The dental drama made people recall a relatively similar incident in Floriday on Nov. 27, 2009, when the golfer was reportedly on the receiving end of a physical attack by his then-wife, Elin Nordegren. It was around the time that Nordegren found out about his serial infidelities.
Thankfully for the toothless golf player, Vonn was clearly thrilled to see him among the people who were cheering her on. Perhaps he was self-conscious about Tiger Woods missing tooth, as he kept his mask on when he kissed her after she crossed the finish line.
