There's one in every crowd, and 32 in Tiger Woods' mouth -- teeth, that is.

A fan at the Waste Management Phoenix Open spent his entire day waiting for Woods to show up to the par-3 16th at TPC Scottsdale dressed in a tooth costume. On the costume, it said "Tiger's Wisdom."

It was an obvious play on the oral surgery Woods had on two teeth after a trip last week to Italy to surprise girlfriend Lindsey Vonn as she broke the record for women's World Cup downhill victories. Woods said a cameraman chipped one tooth and cracked another when he hit Woods in the mouth with his camera as the 14-time major winner was trying to reach Vonn after her race. Woods didn't say which teeth were affected, but neither appeared to be wisdom teeth, which we don't Woods even has.
