R.I.P. Tiger's Yellow Front Tooth
/The rogue fang amidst otherwise perfect ivories has long annoyed some and helped keep air brushes in business, so it's hardly a surprise Tiger Woods finally addressed this pressing matter.
A missing front tooth was evident when Tiger surfaced in Italy to surprise Lindsey Vonn as she won her record 63rd World Cup victory.
Sporting a ski mask he picked up at the Jack The Ripper outlet store, Woods was at the finish line after Vonn's historic win and an AP photographer caught this image of the new Mike Tyson aesthetic.
Nick Menta at GolfChannel.com with the spot.
**TMZ Sports claims this is a remnant of his accident from November, 2009 but I'm pretty sure that is incorrect.
**AP got an email from Tiger's agent, who says a photographer knocked the tooth out:
Mark Steinberg, his agent at Excel Sports, explained the missing tooth in an email. He says during a crush of photographers at the awards podium, a media member with a shoulder-mounted video surged toward the stage, turned and hit Woods in the mouth. That's what knocked out the tooth.
He did not say when Woods would have it replaced. Golf's biggest star returns to competition next week in Phoenix, and his smile is sure to produce a stream of shutters from the cameras.
