Yesterday the agent of Tiger Woods claimed that the golfer lost his front tooth after a cameraman accidentally hit him in the face with his camera during a media scrum, however an insider has come forward to go against the statement made yesterday as the sportsman attended a ski event in Italy to support his girlfriend Lindsey Vonn.
Nicola Colli, secretary general of the organising committee for the Cortina D’Ampezzo event, claimed that the situation described in the statement did not in fact occur. Colli says that she was alongside the golfer during the so-called crush of photographers and cameramen and she said that ‘there was no such incident’ at the skiing world cup as Woods congratulated his girlfriend on her 63rd victory in the sport.
Woods agent Mark Steinberg said that the golfers ‘tooth was knocked out by the incident’ but Colli contradicts this story, saying ‘I was among those who escorted him from the tent to the snowmobile’ and she never saw the alleged incident occur.
Previous pictures of the golfer with his teeth visible have shown that the tooth in question was discoloured, leading to speculation that it had already been removed or fallen out before the event on Monday this week.
