When confronted several times about his injuries, Woods finally admitted that his tooth was knocked out and another was severely cracked when a TV cameraman who was carrying his gear on his shoulder accidentally stood up and turned around in the middle of a crowd. The gear smacked the professional golfer in the mouth without any warning.
"I was looking down, and all the camera guys are below me on their knees or moving all around, trying to get a picture because she's hugging people, saying congratulations to the other racers as they are coming down. Some already finished, some are there already in the changing area," Woods said.
The golfer was wearing a white-skull-printed bandana and sunglasses as a surprise to Vonn who didn't know he was there. When the incident happened, he reportedly tried to use the disguise as a way to prevent blood from getting all over the place.
Woods said that wasn't the worst part--it was the flight back that really hurt.
"The flight home was a joke. I couldn't eat, I couldn't drink until he fixed them. Until he put the temporaries on I couldn't have anything touch it," he said. "Even breathing hurt. Any kind of air rushed over the nerve of the tooth that was still alive that was cracked."
