That’s some fancy footwork, Tiger!

Woods was scheduled to meet the press Tuesday ahead of his 2015 PGA Tour debut at this week’s Waste Management Phoenix Open for the first time since photos emerged of the gaping hole between his teeth.

A little while before his presser that may involve a few questions about his mouth, however, Woods was all about focusing on his hoof.

Despite race officials refuting the report of a videographer shoving a camera in Woods’ face and knocking his tooth out, Tiger reportedly backed up his agent’s (and Vonn’s) version of what happened when he surprised his girlfriend Lindsey Vonn in Italy last week, sans chopper.

“The photographer changed positions and I got hit,” Woods, with an ivory in place where the hole was, told USA Today Tuesday. “It was an accident ... And yes there was blood everywhere. All good now.”

That’s a wrap, ladies and gentlemen. Now, what say you, Robert Allenby?
