Imagine planning a romantic surprise trip to see your significant other just to end up having your tooth knocked out by someone before you see them! This A-Listers, is exactly what happened to Tiger Woods...

During a trip to Italy to watch his girlfriend, pro skier Lindsey Vonn take home her 63rd World Cup title, Tiger was whacked by a media member's camera as he made his way to the awards podium to snap pictures.

"During a crush of photographers at the awards podium at the World Cup event in Italy, a media member with a shoulder-mounted camera pushed and surged towards the stage, [then] turned and hit Tiger in the mouth. Woods' tooth was knocked out by the incident," said Excel Sports agent Mark Steinberg in an email.

Tiger was later spotted looking snag-a-licous while sporting a skeleton patterned scarf to hide his missing tooth -- That is, until the scarf was pulled down for the world, (i.e. the paps) to see.

Tiger is scheduled to return to competition next week, where he'll partake in the Phoenix Open.

Well that's unfortunate to hear. I wonder if he'll be able to fit in a quick visit to the dentist between now and then. If not, I'm sure the paparazzi will be ready. Nice to see he's ok!
