it was claimed

yesterday,

reports for

The U.K. Sun

Dec. 30th., 2009.

.

Furman Bisher,

one of America’s most respected

sports journalists,

said the nine iron smashed the

golf legend’s cheek bone –

and his two front teeth were

almost knocked out.

Bisher –

described as the country’s

top golf writer –

also claimed the injuries are

the real reason Tiger, 33,

has not been seen in public

since his mysterious car smash

early on November 27.

The retired writer claims

his information came from a

trustworthy colleague of

Tiger’s agent,

Mark Steinberg.

Bisher said on his blog that

Tiger spent America’s

Thanksgiving Day,

November 26,

exchanging texts with

mistress Rachel Uchitel, 34.

He then went out to play poker

with friends but left his mobile

phone behind –

and Elin read one

of the messages.

Tiger returned at midnight

and there was a

“heated discussion”.

Bisher wrote:

“Tiger sat in a chair

in the living room.

.

.

“Elin sat across from him,

urging Tiger to just

come clean.

Tiger stayed to his guns

and denied everything.

“At one point Tiger turned

away to look at the TV and,

as he turned back,

Elin hit him on the right side

of the face with the head

of a nine iron.

“She put a huge gash in

the right side of his face

next to his nose,

causing his nose to bruise some,

virtually knocking two of his

upper teeth out and breaking

the bone on the upper right side.”
