No gap, no problem.

Tiger Woods is back on the links after getting his missing tooth replaced. By his account, Woods had his tooth knocked out by a cameraman in Italy when he went to watch girlfriend Lindsey Vonn compete in a ski event.

Some skepticism arose as tournament officials refuted the claims, saying they didn't see any such incident.

But Woods is sticking to his guns, and he says there's no hard feelings, according to USA Today's Steve DiMeglio.

"The photographer changed positions and I got hit," Woods said. "It was an accident. ... And yes there was blood everywhere.

"All good now."

Woods is currently preparing for the Phoenix Open, which he hasn't participated in since 2001. This is just his second tournament since he missed the cut at the 2014 PGA Championship.
