He went to the top of the hill, behind the cameras.All the camera guys are below me on their knees or moving all around, trying to get a picture because shes hugging people, saying congratulations to the other racers as they are coming down, he said.

It is what it is.Woods is playing his first official PGA Tour event since he missed the cut at the PGA Championship in August. But the biggest topic after he played nine holes under a cloudy sky Tuesday morning was the mystery of his missing tooth.Except that Woods said there was no mystery at all — except for the attention it received.Its a new world, he said. We need to talk about something. Have to fill up space. The story is about Lindsey breaking the record. Thats the story. I mean, geez, every sport you get teeth knocked out, and unfortunately I wasnt actually competing and got my teeth knocked out.Asked if his tooth was a cap to begin with, Woods said, These are permanent, yeah.Woods said the flight home to Florida was the most painful.I couldnt eat, couldnt drink until he fixed them, put the temporaries on, Woods said. I couldnt have anything touch it. Even breathing hurt, because any kind of air over the nerve ... the tooth was still alive, was cracked.When asked if the photographer realized what he had done, Woods replied, He didnt care.
