Tiger Woods, in a Halloween mask,  turns up in Italy to see 
girlfriend ski to 63rd World Cup victory
FROM GOLF DIGEST

Lindsey Vonn broke a 35-year-old skiing record with her 63rd career World Cup victory and boyfriend Tiger Woods was there to see it. Well, we think this is him:

"I didn't think this could get any better than yesterday with my entire family here but now with Tiger here this is unbelievable," Vonn said. "I said, 'I can't believe you came.' And he said, 'I told you.'" Aww.

Woods didn't surprise anyone by not speaking to reporters. After all, the Halloween mask indicated he didn't even want to be seen by reporters.
Tiger will tee it up for the first time in 2015 next week at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Something tells us his new disguise would really put a charge into that boisterous crowd on the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale.
UPDATE: Thanks to GolfChannel.com for noticing these AP photos of Woods with the mask down and showing a missing a front tooth.

That might explain why he was wearing a mask. However, it doesn't explain why he is missing a tooth -- or why the mask had to be so scary. Stay tuned for more on "Toothgate." 

LATER UPDATE ON THE MISSING TOOTH:
 CAMERAMAN BLAMED 
 

ESPN.com reports that Woods' agent Mark Steinberg has cleared up the mystery regarding his client's missing tooth.
Steinberg released a statement claiming Woods' tooth was knocked out Monday by a cameraman near the award podium at the Alpine Skiing World Cup.
"During a crush of photographers at the awards' podium at the World Cup event in Italy, a media member with a shoulder-mounted video camera pushed and surged towards the stage, turned and hit Tiger Woods in the mouth," Steinberg said in a statement released Monday.
 "Woods' tooth was knocked out by the incident."
